What is the Role of Early Detection and Screening?
Early detection and screening play a pivotal role in improving cancer outcomes. Studies have shown that cancers detected at an early stage are more likely to be successfully treated. Screening methods such as mammography for breast cancer, colonoscopy for colorectal cancer, and low-dose CT scans for lung cancer have been instrumental in reducing cancer mortality rates. The development of new biomarkers and imaging techniques continues to enhance early detection efforts.
