ALEXANDRIA, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In the Prevent Cancer Foundation\u2019s<\/a> first annual Early Detection Survey, 65% of Americans 21 years of age and older say they are not up to date with one or more routine cancer screenings.1<\/sup> According to the data, most Americans are better about filing their taxes, renewing their car tags and getting their car\u2019s oil changed than scheduling a routine cancer screening.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThese findings, released today during National Cancer Prevention Month, <\/i>emphasize the need for increased awareness and access to recommended screenings for prevention and early detection. Early detection of cancer can mean less extensive treatment, more treatment options and better chances of survival, leading to better outcomes.\n<\/p>\n

\nDespite the importance of early detection, many people are still not getting the routine screenings they need. Survey participants cite not knowing they need to be screened (39%), not having symptoms (37%) and inability to afford the cost (31%) as top reasons for not being up to date. Additionally, 40% of respondents said they have never discussed routine cancer screenings with their health care provider.\n<\/p>\n

\nTo educate Americans on the routine cancer screenings they need and encourage them to schedule appointments, the Prevent Cancer Foundation is launching a new signature campaign\u2014Early Detection = Better Outcomes<\/b><\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWhen people learn the benefits of early detection, they are much more likely to talk to their doctors and get screened to check their health,\u201d said Jody Hoyos, CEO of the Prevent Cancer Foundation. \u201cRoutine screenings should be part of your wellness routine, just like eating healthy, exercising and taking care of your mental health.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Early Detection = Better Outcomes<\/b> campaign shares helpful information, such as screenings you need at every age<\/a>, tools to find free and low-cost cancer screenings<\/a> and information on how your family health history<\/a> can impact your cancer risk. A new interactive tool<\/a> delivers a personalized screening plan that you can take with you to the doctor\u2019s office.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe survey highlights the need for culturally relevant resources tailored for Hispanic and Black communities. Hispanic participants reported significantly lower rates for breast cancer screening (46%) compared to Black participants (61%) and white participants (63%). For colorectal cancer screening, Hispanic participants (46%) and Black participants (54%) reported significantly lower rates than white participants (61%).\n<\/p>\n

\nAdditional findings reveal that nearly half of the people surveyed are more vigilant about their health since the pandemic. Yet, a third (33%) of Americans surveyed say that potential exposure to COVID-19 continues to have a negative impact on whether they go to their routine medical appointments.\n<\/p>\n

\nResults also show a need for continued innovation with less invasive tests and more at-home test options. Among those who said they are not up to date or are not sure if they are up to date on at least one of their cancer screenings, 40% said having an at-home test option would make them likely to prioritize one or more of their routine cancer screenings.\n<\/p>\n

\nAbout the Prevent Cancer Foundation\u00ae<\/sup><\/b>\n<\/p>\n
