Early Diagnosis Campaign

CancerCare’s Early Diagnosis Campaign is an initiative that aims to promote better outcomes from early cancer detection.
By collating research and lived experience stories from those who have received a cancer diagnosis, we encourage people to come forward and seek medical advice and support when they notice symptoms. Early detection is key to improving survival rates, as cancer, when caught early, doesn’t have to be a death sentence.
This campaign has been co-produced, drawing on the expertise of healthcare professionals and individuals with lived experiences of receiving a cancer diagnosis. Together, we aim to spark crucial conversations about early diagnosis and reduce the stigma surrounding cancer.
The Early Diagnosis Campaign highlighted barriers that people face when it comes to receiving a cancer diagnosis and why some a likely to be diagnosed at a much later stage than others.
