How Early Detection Of Cancer Can Save Your Life

• Cancer. Its something we dont really want to
  think about, and a word that induces fear in many
  of us, but the reality is that we will all be
  affected by it at some point in our lives, even
  if indirectly. So, it makes sense that we talk
  about it, instead of ignoring it, and that we
  face up to our fears if we are to give ourselves
  the best chances of survival, should we find
  ourselves suffering from a form of cancer.
• Early detection of cancer really can save your
  life, or at the very least, give you a much
  higher chance of recovery than if you were to
  ignore the symptoms. Cancer that has been given a
  chance to spread, makes treatment far more
  difficult and less likely to be successful.

• Below are some examples of how detecting certain
  common cancers early, can help to save your life
• Breast cancer
• Survival rates for women diagnosed with breast
  cancer in the early stages, are far greater than
  in those women who are diagnosed in the late
  stages of the disease. Statistics calculated from
  many different scientific studies, have found
  that almost all women who spot the signs of
  breast cancer early, go on to survive for a
  minimum of 5 years. Women who havent spotted the
  symptoms or were simply too frightened to seek
  medical help, stand only a 15 of surviving
  cancer for that same length of time.

• Ovarian cancer
• Similar statistics exist for those women who are
  diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the early
  stages, compared to those in the advanced stages
  of cancer, with almost all women who detected the
  disease early on. living for a minimum of 5
  years, in comparison to just 5 of those women
  who were diagnosed in the advanced stages.
• Bowel cancer
• Spotting bowel cancer at its earliest stages
  gives almost all who are diagnosed with the
  disease, the greatest chance of surviving for
  more than 5 years.

5

• Lung cancer
• The statistics are grim for those diagnosed with
  lung cancer in its advanced stages, and only
  around 14 will go on to live for a further year,
  compared to a much higher 70, for those who
  detect the disease before it has a chance to
  spread.
• While early detection of all cancers helps
  increase survival rates, a lot will also depend
  upon the treatment given and its effectiveness.
  In many cases cancer can be beaten, or at the
  very least, patients can be given many more years
  of healthy living.

• So, if you spot anything in, or on your body that
  you are unsure or worried about, or even if you
  have simply been feeling under the weather for a
  prolonged period, then you should visit your
  doctor at the earliest. In many cases, patients
  may present with similar symptoms of cancer, but
  may in fact be suffering from something wholly
  treatable, so dont delay in seeking help from
  your doctor if youre worried.
