Despite the evident benefits, several barriers can hinder timely intervention:
Lack of awareness: Many people are not aware of the importance of regular screening and early detection. Financial constraints: The cost of screening and treatment can be prohibitive for some individuals, especially in low-income settings. Access to healthcare: Limited access to healthcare facilities and specialists can delay diagnosis and treatment. Psychological factors: Fear of diagnosis, denial, and anxiety can also deter individuals from seeking timely medical attention.
