Improving screening and early detection in cancer significantly increases survival rate.
| Cancer Stage | % Cases Diagnosed (Average) | 5-Year Survival Rate (%) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage I | 2.42 | 94.3 | ||
| Stage II | 18.21 | 75 | ||
| Stage III | 32.33 | 31 | ||
| Stage IV | 47.71 | 11.7 |
Cancer arises due to genetic mutations, which can be inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic).
Germline sequencing can identify individuals who are at higher risk. Based on the Chinese Health Study, 51% more cancers can be detected if screening was more targeted based on their risk profiles, compared to random screening of 35% of the population.
