Half of cancers worldwide are diagnosed too late. But when found early, survival rates can be up to three times higher.
This , FMCI reminds you that early detection is one of the most powerful tools we have in the fight against cancer.
🔎 Why early detection matters:
- Cancers detected at Stage I or II are far more treatable and have much higher survival rates.
- Regular screenings can detect signs long before symptoms appear.
- Simple steps like annual health check-ups, paying attention to body changes, and knowing your family medical history can save lives.
💡 Did you know?
- In many cancers, including breast and colorectal, survival rates are over 90% when detected early.
- Yet, almost 50% of cancers are only found in advanced stages, when treatment is more complex and survival rates drop sharply.
This month is not just about raising awareness, it’s about taking action. Encourage your loved ones to book their screenings, talk openly about health, and support one another in prevention.
👉 Together, we can shift the numbers. Together, we can save lives.
