diagnosis
'die Diagnose' and 'die Früherkennung' both have to do with detecting illnesses or problems. The diagnosis states more precisely what the illness or the cause of a problem is. 'Früherkennung' means finding an illness or a risk as early as possible, often before there are serious symptoms. Learners may confuse the words because both are connected with examinations. More natural usage is: 'Früherkennung' for preventive screening and early discovery, 'Diagnose' for precisely naming the problem.
Die Früherkennung kann helfen, eine Krankheit rechtzeitig zu behandeln.
