Early Detection of Cancer: 

Why Screening Is the Strongest Shield Against Cancer

Cancer is no longer a disease that occurs suddenly — in most cases, the body gives early signals. Unfortunately, many people ignore these symptoms due to lack of awareness or fear. Early detection through regular screening increases the chances of successful treatment by 60–80% and significantly improves quality of life.

 

Why Early Screening Matters

  • Detects cancer before symptoms appear

  • Allows less aggressive treatment

  • Prevents cancer spread to other organs

  • Boosts survival & recovery rates

Who Should Get Screened?

  • Anyone above 40 years

  • People with a family history of cancer

  • Smokers, alcohol consumers

  • Obesity and sedentary lifestyle individuals

  • Women above 30 for breast & cervical screening
