Ensuring the availability of, and access to, early detection programmes for cancer can significantly reduce the cancer burden in all countries.
The World Cancer Declaration Targets to be achieved by 2025:
- Target 6 – Population-based screening and early detection programmes will be universally implemented, and levels of public and professional awareness about important cancer warning signs and symptoms will have improved
- Target 9 – Innovative education and training opportunities for healthcare professionals in all disciplines of cancer control will have improved significantly, particularly in low- and middle-income countries
