1. Early detection allows for cancer management.

    The answer is cancer is not managed as well as it could be due to:

    Shortfalls in targeted therapy

    Our limited grasp of disease biology

    Limited understanding of environmental factors that trigger its advance

    But the real differentials in survival, the life and death deciders, come down to one thing: the speed and accuracy of diagnosis.  Despite advances in drug development and surgical dexterity, the cancers that kill in greatest number are those that are not caught early.
