Story

THE URGENT NEED

The Shocking Reality:

Only 3 in 10 people can name a single symptom of throat cancer

40% of throat cancers are diagnosed at advanced stages

Yet when caught early, 95% of patients survive

The Opportunity:

Just like breast cancer awareness transformed survival rates from 50% to 85%, we can save thousands of lives by making throat cancer symptoms as recognizable as a breast lump.

PROVEN SUCCESS MODEL

Learning from Breast Cancer Awareness:

• 1970s: 50% survival rate, low awareness

• Massive awareness campaigns launched

• Result: 85% survival rate, universal symptom recognition

Our Goal for Throat Cancer:

• Current: 60% overall survival rate

• With early detection: 95% survival rate

• Target: Make throat cancer symptoms as recognisable as breast cancer symptoms

SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS WE'LL TEACH THE PUBLIC

Our campaign will focus on these key warning signs:

• Persistent sore throat (3+ weeks)

• Difficulty swallowing

• Unexplained voice changes

• Persistent cough

• Neck lumps or swelling

• Ear pain that doesn't improve

"Remember: Most of these symptoms have innocent causes, but they should always be checked by a doctor."
