Awareness

One in 11 T-shirts Today's community is far better informed and aware of the benefits of early detection and the need for regular screening. Although this has improved, awareness is still not high enough, and we will continue to increase our projects in this area. Awareness continues to be the key as early detection decreases the mortality rate.
