Several factors contribute to prolonged survival, including:
1. Early Detection: Early screening techniques such as mammograms, colonoscopy, and PSA tests can identify cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage. 2. Advanced Treatments: Innovations such as targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and personalized medicine have significantly improved survival rates. 3. Supportive Care: Better management of symptoms and treatment side effects, including palliative care, contributes to prolonged survival and improved quality of life.
