> Early treatment of cancer is not always better Sure, nothing is always better. If an intervention is statistically not better, then we will not be doing that kind of thing in the future. Better data will lead to better treatment, as will continued research. But statistically early treatment will always end up being better. There is no theoretical situation in which having less time to systematically change an outcome will beat having more time. Also not sure how quickly things progress in this particular case, but the article is from 2017 so that's quite a few years already.
