Screening Programs: Systematic screening of populations for certain diseases can lead to early detection. Examples include mammograms for breast cancer and colonoscopies for colon cancer. Routine Check-ups: Regular medical check-ups help in identifying potential health issues before they become severe. Public Health Campaigns: Awareness campaigns educate the public about symptoms and encourage early medical consultation. Diagnostic Technologies: Advances in diagnostic technologies, such as imaging and molecular tests, have significantly improved early detection capabilities.
