Prevention Information
It’s estimated that nearly nine million people die from cancer each year. But research shows that more than half of those cancers could be averted if known prevention strategies were optimally used. Precision prevention and early detection focus on the use of patients’ molecular and biological characteristics to prevent cancer occurrence, intercept cancer progression, and detect tumors early.
Early Detection and Screening
Getting regularly screened for various cancers is one of the best ways catch tumors early, when they are easier to treat.
What is cancer prevention?
Research has shown that at least one-third of all cancer cases can be prevented. Find out how to protect yourself.
