Diagnosing cancer earlier: what progress is being made?
Cet article analyse les progrès réalisés ces 15 dernières années en matière de diagnostic précoce des cancers
Fifteen years ago, the Cancer Reform Strategy [1] put earlier diagnosis of cancer at the forefront of plans to improve cancer outcomes and galvanised an ambitious, coordinated effort to research and identify how to accelerate progress. In 2009, the British Journal of Cancer published a supplement [2] assembling the contemporary evidence to support the National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative (NAEDI), a key commitment in this 2007 Strategy. A further supplement was published in 2015 [3] reviewing and presenting progress. Our paper reflects on the past 15 years, revisits the rationale for earlier diagnosis, and looks to future prospects that could transform the landscape in the next fifteen.
