Launched in April 2024 and led by the Prevent Cancer Foundation, Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month aims to:
Raise awareness: Provide an entryway to educate the public about the importance of cancer prevention and early detection through healthy behaviors and routine screenings.
Inspire action: Empower individuals to take control of their health by adopting healthier behaviors and getting routine screenings and encourage corporations and organizations to support their employees in these actions.
Mobilize resources: Encourage public and private investment in cancer prevention and early detection initiatives, leading to improved health outcomes and reduced health care costs.
Highlight progress: Acknowledge the tremendous progress made in cancer research and the development of innovative prevention and early detection strategies, driven forward by the Cancer Moonshot.
When we work together, we can make significant progress in reducing the cancer death rate by at least half, preventing more than four million cancer deaths by 2047, and improving the experience of people touched by cancer, as envisioned by the Cancer Moonshot.
