About the 15-40 Connection
Cancer survival rates in teens and young adults (ages 15 to 40) have barely improved since 1975 in a large part because a delay in diagnosis allows time for cancer to progress to more advanced stages. The 15-40 Connection is changing this by empowering individuals with knowledge that will save and improve lives through early cancer detection. Most people know that early cancer detection works but don't know how to make it work for them. We can change this through the knowledge that cancer symptoms are often subtle but persistent changes in your health.
