About Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month
Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month is a dedicated time to raise awareness about the importance of healthy behaviors and routine screenings to reduce your cancer risk. By inspiring people to take control of their health and encouraging corporations and organizations to support these actions, we can make a substantial impact on public health.
In 2024, President Biden designated April as the first official National Cancer Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month. Since then, the Prevent Cancer Foundation has rallied individuals, organizations and the cancer prevention community to promote routine cancer screenings so everyone can achieve better health outcomes.
Check your health today—and encourage your friends and family to do the same—and pave the way for a world where cancer is preventable, detectable and beatable for all.
