Earlier cancer detection allows for earlier treatment, which results in better patient outcomes because lower tumor burden is associated with a higher probability of treatment response.

“I would point to two of the most common cancers as examples of that which are breast and coloral cancer where the treatments are virtually indistinguishable in the adant setting versus the metastatic setting and yet the outcomes are profoundly different in other words when you take a patient with br”

Early detection of cancer is vital because lower tumor burden and reduced genetic heterogeneity in early-stage disease significantly improve treatment outcomes.

“I think this is a very important point that gets lost on the part of many people in the field which is early detection absolutely matters and you have to look no further than that simple point which hasn't I've never seen it refuted less tumor burden it's less heterogeneity equals better outcomes”
