Leading public health organizations, including the American Cancer Society, have warned that cancer does not stop for COVID-19, and neither should you. Cancer screenings save lives. The earlier cancer is detected, the more options there are for treatment, and the better the chances for survival. To help improve cancer cures, the ACS and other national health groups are calling on everyone to return to screenings.
For the 41,980 Tennesseans estimated to be diagnosed with cancer in 2021, early detection and treatment are essential to surviving this disease. In Tennessee, cancer is the second leading cause of death, and an estimated 14,050 Tennesseans will die from the disease this year.
