Early detection of cancer

Survival improves when cancer is detected early. Insights must be translated into sensitive and specific early detection technologies and be appropriately evaluated to support practical clinical implementation.

• 1 However, ~50% of cancers are at an advanced stage when diagnosed.
• 2 Early detection of cancer or precancerous change allows early intervention to try to slow or prevent cancer development and lethality.
• 3 To achieve early detection of all cancers, numerous challenges must be overcome.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
