This year, 2024, the theme for Sarcoma Cancer Awareness Month is “Raising Awareness to Create Survivors.” Sarcomas are a general term for rare cancers that develop in the connective tissues and bones. Soft tissue and bone sarcomas are the two basic classifications for these cancers. Interestingly, a new type of sarcoma known as pseudoendocrine sarcoma has recently been described. Sarcomas accounts for 1% to 2% of all cancers that affect children, adolescents, and adults under 30. Some risk factors include;- - Exposure to radiation, possibly during cancer therapy - Exposure to industrial chemicals - Exposure to human herpesvirus 8 - Family history of having other genetic diseases such as Werner syndrome, Gorlin syndrome, or retinoblastoma - Presence of Paget’s disease - Presence of lymphedema More Awareness can Increase Survivors. #sandsclinicng #healthiswealth #sarcomaawareness #sarcomaawarenessmonth🎗 #sarcoma

Three reasons to talk about breast cancer risk factors with your patients: 1. Risk assessment tools cater to a broad population of women, whether they have a family history of breast cancer. They incorporate known risk factors that may include common genetic variants in the form of polygenic risk, lifestyle, and clinical features such as breast density. 2. Risk assessments are a necessary tool to ensure patients receive personalized guidance on their breast cancer risk. 3. geneType is a general population risk assessment that shows improved discrimination over traditional models in a real-world setting, leading to superior performance in the identification of at-risk women.

After receiving a mammogram, roughly half of all patients will be told they have dense breasts. In 2024, a new FDA mandate will require all mammogram reports to include notifications regarding a patient's breast density. Breast density can impact your breast cancer risk and also help to inform how often screening is recommended and whether you’re a good candidate for follow-up tests. Learn more about geneType, which integrates personal clinical and genetic risk factors including breast density: https://lnkd.in/gtr3QF-t #geneType #KnowYourRisk #breastcancer #breastdensity #breasthealth

As routine screening decreases, the incidence of diseases like cervical cancer, diabetes, prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease increases. Cervical cancer is just one of several diseases that have seen policies implemented against routine screening and have seen an increase in incidence. Stay informed and advocate for your health. #healthawareness #cervicalcancer #routinehealthscreening

This April CRCHC would like to raise awareness for Oral Cancer.
