September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. Ovarian cancer is sometimes referred to as the “silent killer” since it can be mistaken for other gynecological disorders like endometriosis or fibroids. It's detected via a transvaginal ultrasound or a blood test, making early detection a challenge. Ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system; however there's a 93% survival rate for women with Stage 1 ovarian cancer. The sooner it is diagnosed, the better. Below are a few risk factors that can increase a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer: 🔵Family history of hereditary cancers like ovarian, breast and colorectal 🔵Presence of genetic mutations 🔵No history of pregnancy or having children later in life 🔵Starting menstruation before age 12 and reaching menopause after age 50 Share any concerns about your reproductive health with a health care professional as soon as possible. For more information about ovarian cancer, visit the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition and Target Ovarian Cancer. Both organizations offer valuable resources about ovarian cancer and support options while advocating for more research about the condition. #ovariancancerawarenessmonth #womenshealth #cancerawareness #femtech

You've always wanted to have children, but then breast cancer interfered...? Some women are diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age. Many then receive treatments that prevent them from considering pregnancy at an age when they would have wished to start a family. This raises the question, is there a way to safely pause their treatment to try to conceive and give birth? This question is a real concern for many young women around the world and is addressed by one of our academic studies, POSITIVE - 👉 https://shorturl.at/hwAH2 - which aims to evaluate whether it is safe for women to interrupt their endocrine therapy to try to conceive after breast cancer, without increasing the risk of cancer recurrence. At BIG, we want breast cancer not to be a sentence anymore, and for people to continue living and dreaming despite the disease. Through our academic research, we prioritise the needs and interests of patients, placing them at the forefront of our mission. #BIGagainstbc #breastcancer #breastcancerresearch

✨ Amongst the many benefits of breast feeding to the health of a baby, breastfeeding has been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer in many women. This reduced risk is related to changes in RNA processing and cellular differentiation. The risk is also reduced in carriers of BRCA 1 mutations. ✨ Breastfeeding also helps in maintenance of healthy weight by burning additional calories thus helping women return to their pre-pregnancy weight more quickly. A healthy weight reduces the risk of breast cancer. #breastcancerawareness #gynae #womenhealth #babyfriendly #breastcancer #arcticgynae

October is dedicated to raising awareness for Breast Cancer, and it's time to go beyond the pink ribbons. Breast Cancer awareness extends to educating individuals about early identification and understanding the signs and symptoms associated with this condition. Preventing risk factors can significantly reduce the chances of developing Breast Cancer. Keep an eye out for these risk factors: - Exposure to ionizing radiation - Age - Family history of breast cancer - Inherited risk - Early menstruation and late menopause - Timing of pregnancy - Oral contraceptives or birth control pills Additionally, women, with guidance from healthcare professionals, can follow a structured method for regular Breast Cancer self-examinations. Our organization is committed to spreading Breast Cancer awareness among our female employees. We're sharing digital resources, such as videos that demonstrate self-examination techniques, and launching initiatives to engage Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to host awareness talks on public platforms. We're also providing physical inputs to support Breast Cancer patients. Join us in this vital cause! Let's empower each other and create a world with less Breast Cancer. Together, we can make a difference. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #PinkMonth #CancerCare #SelfCare #Empowerment #HealthAwareness #Support #RLSTrastuRel #RLSReliCitabine

Food for thought. Thanks for sharing Lung Cancer Foundation of America Spoiler alert recap: --Women who do not smoke are at a greater risk of lung cancer than male non-smokers. --Sex hormones may mediate these gender disparities in lung cancer incidence, but the evidence showing an association between sex hormone-related reproductive factors and lung cancer risk has been contradictory. --A large study involving more than 273,000 women, however, did find an association between reproductive factors, such as age at menopause and first childbirth, and lung cancer risk. --Experts say the study underscores the importance of considering reproductive factors while screening for lung cancer.
"Researchers say menopause and age of first child birth may be factors in determining a woman’s risk of lung cancer." #lungcancer #womenshealth #cancerresearch https://lnkd.in/gfPW_PJi

Prenatal exposure to some PFAS is associated with a higher risk of childhood leukemia, according to a large study published by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Children born in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when exposure levels to PFOS (a type of PFAS) were highest, had the highest risk of leukemia. #insurance #underwriting #insuranceindustry #reinsurance https://lnkd.in/eiHMK-_K

Today, on World Ovarian Cancer Day, I would like to raise awareness about this disease. By understanding the risks, symptoms, and importance of early detection, women can take charge of their health and improve their chances of a successful outcome. Here are some hard facts: - According to GLOBOCAN it is estimated that in 2020 there were 191,000 women in Europe diagnosed with #ovariancancer. - More than 92,000 women in Europe die from ovarian cancer each year. #Prevention: It is difficult to bring our risks down to 0 but here are some factors for which is believed that they can reduce / alter our risk: - Using hormonal birth control pills, pregnancy and breastfeeding may offer some protection. - Maintaining a healthy lifestyle - If you have a family history of ovarian, breast or colorectal cancer, seek genetic counseling and potentially genetic testing, which may determine a need for preventative measures like surgery. Survival Rate: As with any other cancer, the overall survival rate depends on the stage at diagnosis - as with any cancer type, the earlier detected the better! The 5-year overall survival for ovarian cancer is : Early-stage (stage I): 80-90% Late-stage (stage III or IV): 20-40% Additional information: - Ovarian cancer symptoms can be vague and easily confused with other conditions - as always listen to your body and speak to your doctor when in doubt. - #Earlycancer detection is critical for successful treatment. - There is no single screening test for ovarian cancer, but a combination of a pelvic exam, ultrasound, and sometimes a blood test (CA-125) might be used.

The American Cancer Society study released this week, finding GenX and Millennials at a higher cancer risk for 17 of 34 cancers than previous generations, sparked a lot of questions.
