There may be a lot more cancers detected early but a lot of them are untreatable as well. I lost a partner in 2000 to brain cancer, he was only 48. He had the cancer removed, had chemo etc but it returned within 2 years and was in such a place on the brain that it was inoperable. On the plus side ( if you can have a plus side to cancer), my mum has had breast cancer twice and has successfully defeated this terrible disease, so early detection in her case saved her life.
In answer to your question, how do you fight something you know nothing about ?
