Cancer has become the leading cost driver in employer health plans, imposing a significant financial and human burden. These costs increase when cancer goes undetected, with one study finding the cost of treating cancer at Stage IV is nearly 4x as expensive as treating cancer at Stage I. As employers seek ways to reduce the rising costs and enhance the well-being of their employees, early detection of cancer continues to lead as the most promising and effective strategy.

The landscape of early cancer detection is changing rapidly – over the past few years, new methods of early detection have emerged, screening guidelines have been updated, and novel at-home screening modalities have become more accessible. Now more than ever, employers need to be aware of all of the tools at their disposal in order to design benefits that can reduce cancer risk among their workforce.

Join this complimentary webcast to discover tools available to your clients or your workforce to help reduce costs for employers and improve the likelihood of detecting cancer earlier. You'll learn how to:

  • Lower cancer costs and reduce the gaps in cancer prevention care
  • Increase education about and access to routine screening & prevention services
  • Discuss recent innovations that make screenings more convenient and accessible
  • Build a comprehensive cancer prevention strategy for you and your clients
