October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!! Breast cancer screening is of paramount importance for African-American women due to several factors that make them particularly vulnerable to this disease. Regular screening, including mammograms and clinical breast exams, can help detect breast cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage. Therefore, annual screening through an annual wellness exam or through self-referral for mammography are crucial to addressing these disparities and improving the overall health outcomes for African-American women by enabling early detection and intervention.

The number of under-50s worldwide being diagnosed with cancer has risen by nearly 80% in three decades. While this study did not conclusively identify the primary cause for this surge, some factors mentioned include the rise in obesity, environmental exposures, changes in sleep patterns, and dietary habits, especially high sugar intake which has been linked to certain cancers. Dr. Kirsten West, ND, LAc, FABNO, underscores the significance of lifestyle factors like physical activity, environmental toxins, processed food consumption, and even the importance of social connection and its influence on overall health. What’s evident is that awareness is crucial. This rise in early-onset cancer underscores the importance of understanding potential risk factors, advocating for timely screenings, and fostering a proactive approach to our health.
A recent study shows that the rate of early-onset cancer – defined as patients younger than 50 – is on the rise. Breast cancer had the highest number of diagnosis incidents, while gastrointestinal cancers grew at the fastest rate.

Breast Cancer Dashboard Breast cancer is a complex and multifaceted disease that primarily affects the breast tissue. It occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow and multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumor. These tumors can vary in size, location, and aggressiveness, and they have the potential to spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. Insights into breast cancer encompass various aspects, including its prevalence, risk factors, detection methods, treatment options, and ongoing research efforts aimed at improving prevention, diagnosis, and management. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, affecting millions of individuals, regardless of gender, though it predominantly affects women. It is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally, contributing to a substantial burden on healthcare systems and affecting individuals' quality of life. #powerbideveloper #daxfunctions #powerbidashboard #powerbijobs #dax

Cadherins, these transmembrane glycoproteins, are the unsung heroes in the world of cell adhesion. They choreograph essential interactions in our body, from tissue development to synaptic adhesion, helping maintain the integrity of our epithelial barriers. But when cadherins go rogue, they've been implicated in diseases such as cancer and vascular disorders. Certain cadherins like CDH1, CDH2, and CDH5 have emerged as promising targets in the quest to revolutionize cancer treatments. They offer new hope in the battle against various cancers, including gastric, colon, liver, and metastatic tumors, as well as other diseases like atherosclerosis and respiratory syndromes.
