A generation should not have to inherit its diagnosis.

The fastest-growing cancer demographic in the world is the one we are least prepared for: working-age adults. Colorectal cancer in their thirties. Breast cancer in their forties. Every solid tumor is now appearing earlier than the screening guidelines anticipate.

Preempt is built on a single premise: this is preventable. Not curable after the fact — preventable before the fact. Risk-based knowledge, applied early, ends most of these diagnoses before they begin.

The Cancer Alliance.

Oncology research institutions, global cancer activist organizations, and non-profits are signing the Cancer Alliance Declaration — a shared commitment to risk-based prevention, built to be signed by every employer and every government too.

How we preempt early-onset cancer.

Pillar 01
Personalized Risk Assessment & Targeted Screening
⅓ fewer

Advanced-stage (2B) breast cancers, when screening follows personal risk instead of a fixed annual schedule — finding cancer earlier, for the people most likely to have it.

WISDOM Trial · Esserman et al., 2025
Pillar 02
Lifestyle Intervention & Behavioral Risk Reduction
37.8%

Of new cancer cases are attributable to modifiable risk factors — led by tobacco, infection, and alcohol. Behavior is prevention's largest single lever.

WHO & IARC analysis · Fink et al., 2026
Pillar 03
Vaccination & Infection-Related Cancer Prevention
10.2%

Of all cancers globally are caused by infectious agents — the second-largest category of preventable cancer. HPV and Hepatitis B vaccination closes much of that gap.

Fink et al., 2026
Pillar 04
Organizational Support for People Living with Cancer
Whole-person

Flexible scheduling, mental-health resources, financial navigation — and community, including the Kicking Cancer's Ass podcast — mitigate absenteeism, presenteeism, caregiver burden, and financial toxicity.
