When caught early, uterine cancer is considered highly curable; however, Black women are less likely to be diagnosed early in the course of uterine cancer, and their survival rates are worse no matter when they are diagnosed and what subtype of the cancer they have. Additionally, uterine cancer shows up more aggressively for Black women than other groups. Keep in mind that conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) also put women at greatest risk for developing uterine cancer. We will continually emphasize that there is no screening for uterine cancer, so we must be vigilant about recognizing when something may be wrong with our bodies.

Each year in the US, approximately 100,000 people are treated for cervical precancer, 14,000 people are diagnosed with #CervicalCancer, and 4,000 die of cervical cancer. People with a cervix should be screened with HPV testing, and if HPV-positive, genotyping and cytology testing should be performed to assess the risk of cervical precancer and determine the need for colposcopy or treatment. This review covers current evidence on HPV pathophysiology and cervical cancer prevention. https://ja.ma/426Z7u4

Cervical cancer awareness month The cervical cancer awareness month this year is celebrated under the theme "LEARN. PREVENT. SCREEN ”. Which emphasizes on the necessity of getting to know about cervical cancer, minimizing cervical cancer risks and the life-saving importance of regular screenings. Cervical cancer is the type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix (part between the uterus and the vagina) It is the 4th most common cancer in women globally. With the highest burden falling on developing countries. The primary cause is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is a common sexually transmissible infections.

🎗️ Success at Our Cancer Awareness Session! 🎗️ I and Aditi Joshi successfully conducted a cancer awareness program under MSAI, bringing valuable information and support to our community. 🌟💪 Our goal was to spread crucial information and foster a supportive community, and we’re proud of the results! Our session featured about:- ●Breast cancer ●Cervical Cancer ●Prostate Cancer ●Testicular Cancer We talked about it's risk factors, cause, symptoms and prevention and increased awareness about the vaccine for cervical cancer of HPV and mammography for breast cancer. We also tried to teach them about breast self examination and testicular self examination Our goal was to create a platform for learning and discussion, and we’re proud of the positive impact made. By coming together, we can enhance awareness, provide crucial support, and inspire action in the fight against cancer. 💪💖 #CancerAwareness #MSAI #MakingADifference

Jacqueline Howard reporting on the rise in cancer cases across the world and the causes that could help us understand why we are witnessing an exponential rise in cancer diagnosis. Can we do something about it? Could there be a reason why we are actually seeing more cases as the years go by, compared to decades ago? All these questions are answered in the video below! #cancercases #riseincancerdiagnosis #cnnhealth #healthreporting

Spread the Word It’s #BowelCancerAwarnessMonth🎗️ Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK. Most bowel cancers start off as polyps, which are benign warty growths in the inner lining of the bowel. They undergo a process of cellular change, usually over several years, turning into cancer. Polyp detection and removal saves lives from bowel cancer, as does earlier detection when cancer has developed. We are proud to provide expert colonoscopy capacity within the NHS to help fight against bowel cancer. Together we can make a difference. Together we can save more lives. #bowels #bowlmovement #BowelCancerAwarnessMonth #bowelcancer #earlydiagnosis #nomorebowelcancerdeaths

🌎💜🎗️8 May, World Ovarian Cancer Day, an opportunity to raise awareness and support women facing this disease.   Did you know that ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and is the fifth cause of cancer deaths in women? Early detection is vital to improve survival rates.   The Avantect test for ovarian cancer is a promising early detection tool for high-risk women who are carriers of BRCA1, and BRCA2 mutations or have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer.   The test, done with a blood draw, can detect ovarian cancer at an early stage with a sensitivity of over 60% (for stages I &II). Read more: https://lnkd.in/dbn8fNux   In case of a positive signal, the tester should contact her gynaecologist for further testing. 

On the 4th of February every year, the world unites to raise awareness on fundamental cancer issues. This year theme is “Together, we challenge those in power”. This theme encompasses the global demand for leaders to prioritize and invest in cancer prevention and care and to do more to achieve a just and cancer-free world. According to WHO the cancer situation in Africa is disheartening. In the year 2020, approximately 1.1 million new cancer cases occurred on the continent, with around 700 000 deaths. About 50% of new cancer cases in adults in Africa are due to breast, cervical, prostate, colorectal, and liver cancer. #WordlCancerDay #CancerAwareness #BeatCancer

IT'S THE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. Breast cancer is that disease that doesn't discriminate. It can happen to anyone both male and female. And just like a breast cancer survivor mentioned; "When it strikes, it leaves its victims with two choices, either to identify the disease on time and deal with it appropriately amidst discomforts, or identify it late and suffer the consequences of late detection, which most likely leaves tales of sorrow, pain, tears and perhaps de*ath." So, what if we know what's normal and we're able to differentiate it from the abnormal? It would indeed make a lot of difference, right? That's why @Healthy Letters, we have decided to join the fight against breast cancer by dedicating the remaining days in October to creating awareness. Together we can beat breast cancer. Ps: It's about to get really pinkyyyyy here, stay tuned.😁 . . . #healthyletters #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #breastcancersurvivors #cnacersurvivor #cancerfighters #creatingbreastcancerawareness
