Catch it Early, Brooklyn!

Maimonides Health and the Brooklyn Cyclones are teaming up to encourage adults over age 40 to “Catch It Early!”

TODAY, we are seeing a dramatic increase in the incidence of advanced cancers, likely because individuals have postponed preventive health visits and screenings during the pandemic. These increases will lead to even greater loss of lives to treatable diseases.

Prior to the COVID pandemic, each year in Brooklyn there were an average of:

0 +
Women diagnosed with Breast Cancer
0 %
Did not survive
0 +
Adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer
0 %
Did not survive
0 +
Adults diagnosed with lung cancer
0 %
Did not survive
0 +
Men diagnosed with prostate cancer
0 %
Did not survive

Our goal is to see at least a 90% survival rate for ALL cancers.

Early detection saves lives

Cancer can be a frightening diagnosis, and while Maimonides Health has the experts and expertise to treat the spectrum of cancers with personalized and targeted therapies, every year we lose Brooklynites to treatable, even curable cancers– if caught early.
