The early stages of atherosclerosis are reversible and thus, early detection offers a theoretical window of opportunity to modify disease progression.
Investigating how abuse exposure impacts physical functioning, and vice-versa, over the entire life course may help deepen our understanding of this association, and illuminate critical windows for early detection and intervention.
The above estimates of dwelling time of adenoma carcinoma suggest a long window period for early detection of adenoma using colonoscopy.
Most colorectal cancers arise from adenomas, and estimates of the progression rate suggest that there is a long window period for early detection by screening and removal of the adenoma [ 5].
Because most survivors will not recur, and many of those who do recur have a narrow window within which early detection may change prognosis, developing tools to better identify those at greatest risk and to individualize their surveillance will likely yield greater benefit than applying generalized surveillance recommendations to all survivors.
This provides an incredible window of opportunity for early detection and prevention.
Therefore, there may exist a broader window of opportunity for early detection and prevention of this deadly disease.
It may provide an extended window for the prevention, early detection and treatment of ongoing secondary neuronal injury, and help to improve outcomes after ICH [ 10, 11].
Hence, this study aimed to determine how this preclinical window could be exploited for early detection of NPC.
Thus, in principle, there is a large window of time for effective and early detection, prevention, and treatment, provided appropriate methods are in place.
Or what if the window starts later, like testicular cancer, in which early detection makes no difference?
