"

Last year Andrew Jackson became another cancer statistic. At the age of 56 he was diagnosed with tumours in his prostate gland and given a 50-60 per cent chance of a cure by his consultant radiologist.

Andrew was one of about 35,000 men in Britain who in 2012 were told they had prostate cancer. What he really wanted to know was whether he would become one of the 11,000 men who die each year of the disease. He has a 40-50 per cent chance of falling into that statistical bin.

Cancer, perhaps more than any other disease, is a game of numbers. Anyone newly diagnosed wants to know their chances of surviving an illness that will affect one in every three people at some point in their lives. Some 11 million people in the world are diagnosed each year with cancer, and 7 million die of the disease."

Le cancer, peut-être bien plus que toute autre maladie, est une affaire de chiffres


Explanation:
Je crois qu'il est plus naturel d'ajouter "bien" et de dire "bien plus que toute autre maladie" et de maintenir "peut-être" à sa position initiale.
