The Importance of Cancer Screening: A National Perspective
This local initiative aligns with national efforts to improve cancer survival rates through early detection. According to the National Cancer Institute, screening tests can often find cancers at an early stage, when they are small and before they have spread. Early detection gives you a better chance of successful treatment. For example, mammography screening has been shown to reduce breast cancer mortality by about 20%.
