Study finds sepsis is bigger killer than three types of cancer combined

Sepsis is a bigger killer than bowel, breast and pancreatic cancer combined, according to a new study. The Sepsis Trust believes there are about 245,783 cases each year in the UK while a study published in The Lancet suggests the number of deaths globally are double previous estimates. Sepsis is a serious complication of an infection, which can lead to multiple organ failure if not treated quickly. Image: Getty Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
