Despite all the efforts from various groups towards the dissemination of information, in order to detect cancers at a sufficiently early stage in order to treat successfully, a study by the Centers for disease prevention and control (CDC) reported that many cancer diseases still be found in the late stages.
In accordance with a possibility of MedPage Today, half of colorectal cancer cases were diagnosed among patients over the age of 50 in the United States was at a later stage. Cancer Colorectal, late diagnosis means that treatment will be more difficult, and you won't have a good success rate.
The report, published as a summary on morbidity and mortality weekly report on surveillance, also revealed that the same case applies to cervical cancer. One third of cases of breast cancer is also diagnosed at late stage.
Marcus Plescia, AN M.D. from the CDC said the following in a press release: "report a concern because so many preventable cancers not diagnosed when treatment is more effective … More work is needed to implement widely based on documented evidence of cancer screening tests which may lead to early detection and, ultimately, increase in the number of lives saved. "
Incidence rates for delayed diagnosis vary between Member States, according to the CDC. The highest incidence rates were determined to have occurred in Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
Early detection is the key to meet most cancers and the US Preventive Services Task Force recommends that the ideal time for screening and frequencies. For cervical cancer, for example, it is proposed that the Pap tests begin within three years from the beginning of sexual activity, or after the age of 21.
