Adding further to the previous blog with my Guide for Preventing & Fighting Cancer: a study to be published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, confirms that when cancers are diagnosed early, they are more curable and require less treatment time.
Some data quoted by the article: Men with prostate cancer spent just 55.3 hours on treatment in the first year after diagnosis, and breast cancer patients spent 66.2 hours — both including about four days in the hospital.
Compare to cancers with worse survival rates, largely because they are usually caught late: Ovarian cancer patients struggled the most, spending about 21 days in the hospital that first year and 368 hours overall getting care. Gastric cancer and lung cancer patients fared almost as badly, spending about 21 days and 15 days in the hospital, respectively, and 351 and 272
overall hours in treatment.
Early detection has real benefits.
