Before 2021, the recommended colorectal cancer screening age was 50, but since the rise of diagnoses in younger people, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force changed its recommendation to begin testing at age 45.    In this HealthyWomen interview, Dr. Nehal Lakhani, Director of Clinical Research at START Midwest, discusses various factors that may contribute to a colon cancer diagnosis, the signs and symptoms to look out for, and what resources START can provide to those with the disease.    Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/evNCRjiK   #colorectalcancer #coloncancer

Some people are recommended to get mammograms earlier in life than other people are. What's the disconnect? People with an *average risk* for breast cancer are advised to wait until their 40s. However, there are some people who are at *increased risk* for breast cancer who can (and probably should) get a mammogram or a breast MRI before the age of 40. The key is providing young people accessible tools to know whether or not they are at increased risk to develop cancer. #BreastCancerAwareness #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #GetScreened #Cancerscreening #cancerprevention #cancerdetection #breastcancer https://lnkd.in/gShznhUW

When Maggie, a 41-year old mother of two, faced a stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis, she leaned on her @Private Health Management Personal Care Team to chart the best treatment path. By analyzing her molecular test results and coordinating additional testing, her Personal Care Team provided clarity when doctors gave conflicting answers about her cancer subtype. This led to an effective treatment plan and excellent response. My excellent colleagues, Ross Keller, PhD and Christina Celestino, share Maggie's full story here. #cancer #breastcancer #molecularprofiling #personalizedmedicine #privatehealthmanagement

One of the best ways for you to detect cancer early is to create a benchmark of what is normal for you.
