You need a complete cancer care solution for your employees. Cancer treatments have improved, and the risk of death has significantly declined over the past three decades. However, cancer incidence is still on the rise. The ramification for employers is that cancer is one of the top expense categories. In our next webinar on July 23, we will discuss these problems and how you can find a complete cancer care solution to tackle increased costs and support your employees with cancer.

4 in 10 people will get cancer. This is a terrifying thought. Que all the intrusive thoughts 😵💫 Do you have access to cancer resources if you need them? Does your company offer a cancer specific benefit? Do you even know? If you’re a benefits leader, are you thinking about cancer? The cost? #cancer #employeebenefits #totalrewards #healthcare #mentalhealth #solution #hr #openenrollment

In support to the #lungcancerawarenessmonth, the American Cancer Society is publishing new guidance and recommends annual screening for at-risk population. It's also possible to go beyond LDCT for early lung cancer detection. At Biomark Diagnostics Inc we're currently evaluating the first #metabolomics blood test for early lung cancer detection in a large prospective clinical trial using a multimodal approach to predict lung cancer risk and determine EGFR mutation profile in a #lungcancerscreening population. Find out more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/e-gTAbQM

In an effort to reduce lung cancer mortality rates, the American Cancer Society's new guideline recommends annual lung cancer screening for people aged 50-80 who smoke or formerly smoke and have a 20-year or greater pack. This guideline is a critical step in reducing the number of lung cancer deaths due to smoking history. Research shows that expanding the screening age, eliminating the "years since quitting" requirement, and lowering the pack per year recommendation can lead to improved outcomes and more deaths prevented. https://lnkd.in/eZbYVjrq

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. I am glad to see the screening guidelines for lung cancer being adapted to include more at-risk patients. The fight against lung cancer will be a long one, but I am certain that the current efforts by governments, industry, NGOs, and healthcare organizations will result in a significant reduction in the social and economic impact of the disease in the next few years. I am proud to be involved in this important global cause. #lungcancerscreening #lungcancer

🟣 Let's bring awareness to Testicular Cancer this month. Understanding its two main tumor types, Nonseminomas, which tend to grow and spread rapidly, and Seminomas, which are more responsive to radiation treatment, is crucial. According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 9,190 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer, and tragically, 470 will lose their lives to this disease. Recognizing symptoms early can lead to better outcomes: watch out for a lump in either testicle, a feeling of heaviness or swelling in the scrotum, lower back pain, swollen lymph nodes, and unexplained weight loss. Let's spread awareness, encourage regular self-examinations, and support those affected by testicular cancer. Early detection saves lives. 💜 #TesticularCancerAwareness #MensHealth #CancerAwareness

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women in the US (not counting skin cancer), and unfortunately many of us know someone who has been impacted by it. Thankfully the number of deaths from lung cancer continues to drop, due to fewer people smoking and advances in early detection and treatment. If you want to learn more, the American Lung Association's State of Lung Cancer report is a good source for data in the US. The link is in the comments below. #lungcancerawarenessmonth #lungcancerawareness

The American Cancer Society’s latest data reveals a sobering statistic – over 220,000 individuals will face a lung cancer diagnosis this year. At the same time, we are observing a reduction in the incidence of disease for several reasons. One significant factor is that patients are getting screened, adopting healthier habits, smoking less frequently, and making choices that contribute to their overall well-being. As we kick off #LungCancerAwarenessMonth, the American Cancer Society ‘s new lung cancer screening guideline expands eligibility. Their new guideline recommends yearly screening for people aged 50 to 80 years old who smoke or formerly smoked and have a 20-year or greater pack-year history. Let’s take this as an opportunity to take proactive steps by educating ourselves on the risk factors, recognizing symptoms, and staying informed about the latest advancements in screening and treatment options for lung cancer. Early screenings are not just important; they're vital in the fight against lung cancer. #LungCancer #EarlyDetectionSavesLives
