The Importance of Cancer Screenings
Atherosclerosis Cardio Vascular Disease (heart disease) is the leading cause of
death in the developed world. The second leading cause? Cancer.
And specifically for those between the ages of 45 to 65, deaths from cancer
outpace those attributable to any other cause: more than heart disease, liver
disease, and stroke combined.
When thinking about how to prevent mortality from cancer, there are three key
questions to consider:
1. How do you prevent cancer?
2. How do you screen for cancer to detect it early?
3. How do you treat it when you have it?
Cancer screening matters for one critical reason — cancer that is caught
earlier is much simpler to treat than cancer that is caught later.
Cancer/Critical Illness insurance policies provide a cash benefit, most
policies starting at a $50 refund, for completing a common cancer screening
test. This refund can be utilized every calendar year. If on a family plan,
each member can take advantage of the annual benefit!
