Why target early cancer?

Spotting cancer early is crucial because it significantly improves treatment success rates and survival chances. When cancer is found at an early stage, it's often smaller and hasn't spread, making it easier to treat effectively. This West Midlands bus initiative aims to bring these vital early checks directly to communities, helping more people get diagnosed sooner.
