- Cancer can be treated. But if it is going to be treated
- with any degree of success, it has to be detected
- in its early stages and a diagnosis quickly
- made. This isn't always easy because
- of the silent period of tumor
- growth—the months or years
- when the malignant cells are
- quietly doubling again and
- again. There may be absolutely
- no indication that this process
- is going on.
