In recent years, the incidence of cancers in Vietnam has been increasing at an alarming rate. Every year, Vietnam has about 126,000 cancer cases and approximately 94,000 people die of cancer. One of the main reasons for patients with cancer dying is their examination and treatment at its late stage.
1. The important role of cancer screening
In recent years, the incidence of cancers in Vietnam has been increasing at an alarming rate. WHO ranks Vietnam in the top two in the world’s cancer map. Every day, there are about 315 people dying of cancer. One of the main reasons for patients dying of cancer is their detection at its late development stage, making treatment more complicated and costly.
Understanding the danger of cancer if detected, many people have been aware of screening and detecting potential risks and factors which can develop into cancer, timely preventing it effectively. Cancer screening is the only measure, helping diagnose and early detect the illness and provides effective treatment, shortening of treatment time, prolonging life expectancy for cancer cases detected at its early stage.
