Can lifestyle changes and early detection impact cancer outcomes?
Absolutely. Lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol can reduce the risk of developing cancer. Early detection through regular screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap smears significantly improves outcomes by identifying cancer at more treatable stages. Technologies like liquid biopsies, which detect cancer DNA in blood samples, are emerging as non-invasive methods for early detection.
