Cancer Cures

Early detection and treatment are credited for the statistical increase in cured cancer patients. Medical advancement seems truly miraculous, and improved educational outreach has resulted in more people voluntarily taking screening tests. The net result is that cancer is caught in earlier stages, when successful cures are more likely.
