Why is early detection of cancer so important?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Improved chance of: Cure. If a cancer is detected before it has spread to other organs, the chance of cure by removing the cancer is much better. The earlier a cancer is detected and removed the less is the risk of cancer spreading to other organs.
