According to the National Cancer Institute, nearly 1.5 million people in the United States will be diagnosed and approximately 560 thousand will die with some form of cancer in 2007. Many deaths, however, as many as 35 percent annually, could be prevented through appropriate and timely screening. Additionally, early screening may reduce cancer-related illness and injury, since treatment for cancers detected in the early stages of development is often less aggressive than that for more advanced-stage cancers.
