What’s the importance of early detection?

• 71% of cancer deaths are caused by cancers not commonly screened for today.
• When cancers are diagnosed early before they have had a chance to spread, the overall 5-year survival rate is 4x higher than when diagnosed in later stages. 
• The most important cancer is the one that you or your loved one may have – and beating it starts with knowing you have it.
