If diagnosed early, the treatment outcome in such cases is much better than in later stages, the doctors said. Still, doctors said a majority of cancer cases are detected only in an advanced stage. Cancers of the breast, colon, rectum, lungs and cervix are among those that can be detected at stage zero, or carcinoma in situ. The centre has launched a campaign to drive greater awareness around stage zero cancer detection. Their collective journeys underscore the importance of catching cancer early: it can save lives,” said a spokesperson for the hospital.
