THE HARDEST 

CANCERS TO DETECT

WHY EARLY DETECTION IS SO HARD

Vague symptoms, limited screening tools, and hidden tumor sites often delay diagnosis and treatment.

PANCREATIC CANCER: THE “SILENT” THREAT

Deep location, nonspecific signs (back pain, weight loss, jaundice) and imperfect tests mean late detection.

OVARIAN CANCER: SUBTLE, EASILY MISSED

Bloating, pelvic pain, early satiety mimic common issues; CA‑125 and screening remain limited.

LUNG CANCER: FEW CLUES EARLY ON

Early stages often asymptomatic. Low dose CT helps high risk groups but can cause false positives.

DIGESTIVE CANCERS

Esophageal, stomach, and bile duct cancers mimic reflux or indigestion, delaying accurate diagnosis.

BRAIN TUMORS: OVERLOOKED NEUROLOGIC SIGNS

Headaches, seizures, vision changes get misattributed; MRI/CT and biopsy have limitations.

BLOOD CANCERS: ILLNESS LIKE EARLY SIGNS

Fatigue, infections, weight loss resemble common ailments; timely labs and evaluation are key.

WHY MISDIAGNOSIS HAPPENS

Nonspecific symptoms, system pressures, and fragmented care cause delays reducing options and survival.

HOPE IN NEW DETECTION TECH

Liquid biopsies, AI enhanced imaging, and multi cancer tests aim for earlier, more accurate detection.
