One very simple answer - Cancer is very much liked a time-bomb. It grows at one site, and when it explodes (metastasization), it goes everywhere.
Early detection is VITAL. If you remove it before it spreads, you have a much higher chance of surviving it.

What is one example of a new technology that's helping diagnose patients earlier?
A CAT scan may find cancers very early. Hmm, a story about early detection. Last century, down south, the medical examiner examined the bodies of fatal car accidents. The data showed that there were too many solid cancers. Speculation ran wild, even considering that people knew they had cancer and were using the cars to kill themselves. That was not the case, however. People often develop cancers! But people often wipe out their cancers! OK, so now you have early detection. With early detection, you are detecting both cancers which the person would overcome on their own as well as cancers that would kill the person. So early detection saves lives. Hmm, depends on how you measure the event. A certain proportion would self correct -- all by themselves. But how to know?

If I detect my symptoms of lung cancer early, can I possibly cure my lung cancer?
Early detection in any form of cancer can potentially mean you can save/ prolong your life. It is always important to find out early but then again how early is early. This also is a big factor. When dealing with lung cancers the fact that you diagnose it early is good but as to "curing/ treatment" it all depends on the type of lung cancer. There are various types of lung cancer and the treatment can be very different. Prevention is better then cure. Say no to smoking!
