🩺 WHPCD aims to improve access to the palliative care that >60 million adults and children need every year. Palliative care has a high unmet need, with only 50% of needs met in high-income countries and 4% in low-middle-income countries. We should consider the next strides that can be made in expanding availability and access to palliative care! #CancerExpertNow #physicians #lifescience Source: Ehospice.com

Cancer Myths Debunked ❌ Cancer Myths Debunked: Get the Facts There’s a lot of misinformation about cancer. Let’s set the record straight on some common myths: ❌ Myth: Cancer is always a death sentence. ✅ Fact: Many cancers are highly treatable, especially when caught early. ❌ Myth: Only smokers get lung cancer. ✅ Fact: While smoking is a major risk factor, non-smokers can also develop lung cancer. ❌ Myth: Cancer is contagious. ✅ Fact: You can’t catch cancer from someone else. ❌ Myth: Sugar feeds cancer cells. ✅ Fact: All cells, including healthy ones, use glucose for energy. A balanced diet is important, but cutting out sugar won’t prevent cancer. ❌ Myth: Only women get breast cancer. ✅ Fact: Men can also get breast cancer, though it’s less common. Understanding the truth about cancer can help you make better health decisions.

Thank you Eleonora Teplinsky, MD for this breakdown! Very useful information and recommendations
🚨A new study published in Frontiers of Toxicology (Parkinson et al 2024) this week looked at chemicals that are connected to breast cancer and also used in food packaging and plastic tableware 🥡🍴and can migrate into the food we eat. 📍Some of the chemicals that are potentially carcinogenic to the breast and are in food packaging are styrene, 4,4’ Methylenebis-(2-Chloroaniline, 3,3′-Dimethylbenzidine, benzene, and 2,4-Toluenediamine, among others. ⚠️ Many of these are already classified as hazardous by regulatory agencies but are still being used in food contact materials. These chemicals are found in plastics, paper and cardboard and can have toxic properties - (it’s not just plastics!) ☢️ Many of the chemicals the study identified are PFAS chemicals (bisphenols, phthalates or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) which are called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment, PFAS chemicals may have a link with breast cancer. They are used to make food packaging resistant to oil, grease, and water. 🎀 This isn’t a direct link to breast cancer but I do think reducing our exposure to these chemicals can help to lower our risk. We need regulatory action. What can you do? 1️⃣ Toss plastic containers. If possible, store and microwave all foods in glass rather than plastic. 2️⃣ Don’t use nonstick pans 🥘 for cooking 👩🍳. 3️⃣ Replace any plastic bottles and coffee makers with glass or stainless steel. 4️⃣ Avoid heating food in plastic. 5️⃣ Avoid polystyrene food containers. Use glass, stainless steel, or BPA-free plastic alternatives. 6️⃣ Transfer food from take out food containers to different packaging, avoid reheating in original containers and store in glass. What else do you do? Share your tips below! #chemicals #breastcancer #plastics #pfas #foreverchemicals

🔍 Cancer Screenings: What You Need to Know Screenings are essential for early cancer detection, often before symptoms appear. Here’s a quick guide on important screenings: 1️⃣ Breast Cancer: Mammograms are recommended every 1-2 years for women aged 50-74. 2️⃣ Cervical Cancer: Pap tests are recommended every 3 years for women aged 21-65, or every 5 years if combined with HPV testing. 3️⃣ Colorectal Cancer: Colonoscopies are recommended every 10 years starting at age 45. 4️⃣ Prostate Cancer: Men should discuss prostate screening with their doctor starting at age 50, or earlier if at higher risk. 5️⃣ Skin Cancer: Regular self-exams and annual dermatologist visits can help detect skin cancer early. Early detection saves lives. Make sure you and your loved ones stay up-to-date on screenings.
