Early diagnosis of cancer focuses on detecting symptomatic patients as early as possible to give them the best chance for successful treatment. When cancer care is delayed or inaccessible, there is a lower chance of survival, more significant problems associated with treatment, and higher care costs. Early diagnosis improves cancer outcomes by providing care at the earliest possible stage and is an important public health strategy in all settings.
