Lisa Stephens (NCI Cancer Information Service) and Nancy Baxter (Univeristy of Minnesota Cancer Center) led this work group.  The detection work group wrote objectives and strategies to address the detection goal of Cancer Plan Minnesota, "Detect cancer at its earliest stages."

Early detection is the detection of disease among people who do not yet have symptoms, usually through a screening test.   Detection of cancer at an early stage can greatly improve chances of survival.  This section of the website will eventually house the portions of Cancer Plan Minnesota which address early detection.
