About this organization
Mission
DetecTogether is a nonprofit organization saving lives by teaching people how to detect cancer early. Its 3 Steps Detect education harnesses the power of early detection by teaching people how to recognize early warning signs of cancer and collaborate with doctors to accelerate the time to diagnosis and receive more effective treatment. It has led to the early detection of cancer as well as many other illnesses. It is well established that early detection greatly improves cancer survival rates and quality of life. Early detection also reduces the cost of treatment ultimately absorbed by individuals, insurers, corporations and health care systems.
About
Early detection is the best and most effective medicine for cancer. We teach people how to recognize warning signs of cancer and the important role they must play in the process that leads to diagnosis. With newly developed educational videos and communication strategies and we have taught nearly 7,000 people at 25 organizations and over 200,000 people through our web site and social media how to detect cancer early. Assuming half are male and half are female - well over 84,000 will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and this education can save their lives. A handful from this year have already reported that it has.
