Abstract
Earlier detection of cancer enables intervention when it is more likely to be treatable and curable, resulting in improved patient outcomes, such as the reduction of morbidity and mortality. Analysis of the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data revealed that cancers diagnosed after distant metastasis represent ~18% of all diagnoses and close to half of all deaths.1 Reducing the proportion of cancers diagnosed at late stages is therefore important.
