Which types of cancer can be detected early?

(Dong Nai) - According to data from the Global Cancer Organization (Globocan), in Vietnam, there are approximately 180,400 new cases and over 120,000 deaths due to cancer each year.

Doctors believe that one of the key reasons for the high cancer mortality rate in Vietnam is the late detection of the disease.

Statistics show that 50-80% of cancer patients seek treatment when the disease is already in stage 3 or 4, leading to significantly reduced treatment effectiveness, increased costs, and a poor prognosis.

Most cancers progress silently. Meanwhile, the habit of cancer screening among the Vietnamese population is still very low. Many people only go for check-ups when they have clear symptoms, while early-stage cancers often progress silently and are difficult to detect.
