Early diseases detection is helpful in many ways

 Early detection of the diseases is important to plan the type of treatmemt.

 It will be helpful to plan a non drug therapy or a drug treatment to prolong the honeymoon in the disease progression

It can also be useful to plan  early surgical treatment as a curative measures in some cancerous and in non cancerous conditions

It can also be useful to patients to plan their futures to prevent any disputes in any matters in their life.

This may also be useful in the approach of many genetic and in inherited disorders.
