🧬 The future of immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer is incredibly promising. While current treatments have yet to fully unlock their potential, ongoing research offers hope for the near future. 🔬 Pancreatic cancer environments are notoriously immunosuppressed, making it a challenge to activate immune responses. However, vaccine trials and other innovative therapies are paving the way to overcoming these barriers. 💜 Join us in supporting groundbreaking research and advancements in immunotherapy. Visit www.trovanow.com to learn how you can contribute to transforming pancreatic cancer treatment and improving patient outcomes! #trovanow #precede #pancreaticcancer #pancreas #cancer #cancerresearch #cancerawareness #knowthesymptoms #findacure #survivor #health #awareness #earlydetection

Liver Cancer Awareness Month, observed every October, aims to raise awareness about liver cancer, its risk factors, and the importance of early detection.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer is the 2nd deadliest cancer in the United States, yet it's one of the few cancers that's preventable thanks to screening. 💡 Screening can find the warning signs of colon and rectal cancer, letting doctors take action to prevent the disease. Screening can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment is the most effective. Let's get educated, raise awareness, and encourage screening. ✔️ If you are age 45 & up, it's time to get checked. This cancer is preventable, so don't wait until it's too late. 💙 #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth #March #cancer #awareness #month #screening #preventable #geteducated #treatment #getchecked #dontwait #takeaction #LADMC #hospital #medicalcenter

March marks Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness on the third most common cancer worldwide. Colorectal cancer is a disease of the colon or rectum and, unlike most cancers, it is highly treatable when detected early and is often preventable with screening. Helsinn is committed to helping patients living with colorectal cancer by raising awareness on how to cope with cancer therapy side effects such as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and how to identify the patient-related factors that may increase risk for CINV and widely impact patient quality of life.

September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month 💙💗 Did you know the thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating your metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature? When thyroid cancer develops, it can disrupt these essential functions. There are several types of thyroid cancer, with papillary thyroid cancer being the most common. While some types grow slowly and respond well to treatment, others can be more aggressive and challenging to manage. Stay informed this month, and remember the importance of early detection. Regular check-ups and understanding the signs can make all the difference in catching thyroid cancer early. Let’s spread awareness and support those affected. 💪 . . . #alabamaoncology #alabamadoctors #oncologyalabama #americancancer #americancancersociety #birminghamalabama #cancercare #oncologyclinic #cancertreatment #cancersupport #cancerwellness #cancerscreening #fightagainstcancer #cancersurvivor #cancerprevention #cancerawareness #healingjourney #qualityoflife #patientcare #hopefulhealing #cancerfree #comprehensivecare #cancertherapy #healthyliving #medicalexcellence #supportivecare #cancerAwarenessMonth #thyroidcancerawareness

In honor of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we are re-posting about a study on colorectal cancer risks in Lynch Syndrome patients that found: ⁠ • Colorectal cancer risks were lower in MSH6 and PMS2 carriers ⁠ • Colonoscopy intervals for these individuals could be longer⁠ • Incomplete polyp removal may be responsible for 1/3 of surveillance-detected colorectal cancers⁠ ⁠ Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/43ofFyA⁠ ⁠ Reference: Lamba, et al.

We see big opportunities for making advances to pancreatic cancer survival rates. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First, our center is establishing a first-of-its-kind program for early detection and prevention. This includes a research initiative to identify biomarkers of abnormal pancreatic cells so we can intervene before they become invasive cancer cells. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re also focusing on people who have had multiple family members with pancreatic cancer or who have mutations linked to pancreatic cancer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The goal is to develop new treatment paradigms to markedly delay or prevent the formation of pancreatic cancer in high-risk individuals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧬 Learn more by visiting our website www.trovanow.org ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #trovanow #precede #pancreaticcancer #pancreas #cancer #cancerresearch #cancerawareness #knowthesymptoms #findacure #survivor #health #awareness #earlydetection

Rare diseases can affect anybody at any time and they don't just impact the person affected, they impact their family and friends as well. There are over 180 different types of rare cancer. Shockingly the 5 year survival rate for those diagnosed with a rare cancer is 47% compare to 65% for those diagnosed with a more common cancer. #rarediseaseday is a champion for everyone affected by a rare disease and highlights the inequalities in care and treatment around the world. We know there are opportunities to do better. https://bit.ly/4970VpM RareCan has been established to connect rare cancer patients to clinical trials and help accelerate research and improve treatments and outcomes for everyone affected by rare cancer. #togetherwecan #clinicaltrials #cancer #cancerresearch
