Early cancer diagnosis often involves screening programs for individuals at high risk due to factors such as family history, age, genetic predisposition, or exposure to carcinogens. Identifying at-risk individuals and monitoring them regularly can lead to the detection of cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage. Early diagnosis can provide patients and their families with a sense of control and the opportunity to make informed decisions about treatment and lifestyle changes. It may reduce anxiety and emotional distress associated with late-stage cancer diagnoses.
