Cancer in 2026: How Immunotherapy Is Reshaping the Odds - Cancer Research Institute / What the Report Means for Immunotherapy
"Close the early detection gap: Cancer stage at diagnosis remains critical – only 17% of pancreatic cancers and 28% of lung cancers are caught at the localized stage. Despite lung cancer screening reducing mortality by up to 24% in high-risk individuals, only about 18% of eligible patients received it, with even lower rates among those under 60 (<13%) and Native Americans (14%). Earlier detection gives immunotherapy its best chance to work, as localized lung cancer has 65% five-year survival compared to 10% for distant-stage disease."
