OUR PROGRAMS TEACH PEOPLE THEIR ROLE IN NOTICING CHANGES AND SEEKING CARE AT THE RIGHT TIME. WE BUILD THE CONFIDENCE TO TAKE ACTION AND TO WORK WITH HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS FOR BETTER OUTCOMES. MOST CANCERS ARE NOT FOUND THROUGH SCREENINGS. IN FACT, 86 PERCENT ARE FOUND IN OTHER WAYS. EARLY DETECTION OFTEN DEPENDS ON PEOPLE NOTICING CHANGES AND ACTING, BUT MOST HAVE NEVER BEEN TAUGHT HOW TO DO THIS. THROUGH OUR 3 STEPS DETECT PROGRAM, WE GIVE PEOPLE THE SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE TO RECOGNIZE SYMPTOMS, TRUST THEIR INSTINCTS, AND SEEK CARE SOONER.
