1Cancer mortalities have outpaced population growth for too long
Between 1970 and 2022 cancer mortalities have nearly doubled. Early Detection, Inc. is declaring war on the following cancers:
| Cancer Type | Estimated 2022 New Cases | % Of All Cancers |
|---|---|---|
| Prostate | 270K | 14% |
| Lung | 240K | 12% |
| Colon | 150K | 8% |
| Breast | 290K | 15% |
| Uterine | 65K | 3% |
These five cancers represent more than half of all cases.
2Survival rates are significantly higher when detected early
| Cancer Type | Distant (late stage) 5-Year Survival Rate | Localized (early stage) 5-Year Survival Rate | Survival Rate Improvement When Detected Early |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prostate | 32% | 99% | 3.1x |
| Breast | 30% | 99% | 3.3x |
| Uterine | 18% | 95% | 5.3x |
| Colon | 15% | 91% | 6.1x |
| Lung | 7% | 61% | 8.7x |
Early detection can be the difference between life and death, improving survival by 3-9x.
