2025 Early Detection Survey
Routine cancer screening and medical appointment behaviors
There’s been a change in how often U.S. adults are going to routine medical appointments and cancer screenings, and according to the Prevent Cancer Foundation’s 2025 Early Detection Survey, we’re moving in the wrong direction.
The survey revealed just 51% of U.S. adults 21 years of age and older say they have had a routine medical appointment or routine cancer screening in the last year.1 This is a 10-percentage point drop from the 2024 survey.
The survey did reveal some encouraging news: When people learn about the benefits of early detection, 73% are more likely to schedule their routine cancer screenings. Early Detection = Better Outcomes® and spreading the word about this message motivates people to schedule those cancer screenings and medical appointments.
Research Methodology: The Prevent Cancer Foundation commissioned Atomik Research to conduct a survey of 7,000 U.S. adults 21 years of age and older1. Researchers implemented several demographic-based quotes in order to achieve ample characteristics, such as sex, age group classification, and race/ethnicity, that are similar to the overall U.S. population of adults 21 and older. The margin of error of the overall sample is +/- 1 percentage point with a confidence level of 95%. Fieldwork took place between January 22 and February 10 of 2025. Atomik Research is an independent market research agency.
1 The cancer screenings studied in this survey were for breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, oral cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer and testicular cancer.
