CEO’S CORNER

Dear readers,

Did you know the five-year survival rate for many cancers when caught early is at least 90%? The best way to detect cancer early and increase your chances for better outcomes is to get the routine cancer screenings and checkups recommended for you.

That’s why our new signature campaign, Early Detection = Better Outcomes, educates people on the routine cancer screenings they need and encourages them to schedule appointments. Despite the importance of early detection, many people are still not getting the routine screenings they need. When people learn the benefits of early detection, they are much more likely to talk to their health care providers and schedule their screenings. In this edition, you’ll read about our new campaign and discover what resources are available for you and your loved ones to make it easier to check your health.

We’re focused not only on the here and now but also on what’s next—how will our actions shape the future of cancer prevention and early detection? I had the privilege of taking the helm as CEO of the Prevent Cancer Foundation at the end of last year and am committed to forging a path to a future where cancer is beatable for everyone. Alongside the incredible team at the Foundation, I’m eager to uncover the answer to what’s next, advocating for you and shifting the power from cancer back to the people every day.
