@instituteofhumananatomy: Most people don't die from cancer where it starts. They die from where it spreads. 💀 Colorectal cancer becomes fatal when it reaches the liver. Breast cancer becomes fatal when it reaches the brain. Lung cancer becomes fatal when it spreads to multiple sites simultaneously. That's the common thread behind most cancer deaths — not the primary tumor, but metastasis to a more vital organ. Each one of these bodies in our lab tells that same story. And here's what makes that so sobering: each of them could have potentially survived if the cancer had been caught before it spread. Early detection isn't just important. For most cancers, it's the entire ballgame.
