Yorkshire Cancer Research’s Post

New research from the American Cancer Society shows that #colorectalcancer is becoming more prevalent than it has been in the past, making timely #cancerscreenings for this disease more important than ever. Today, colon cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among younger men and second the second leading cause among younger women. The good news is there are also more screening options for colon cancer than ever before. If you're 45 or older, or have risk factors like a family history of colon cancer, talk to your doctor about getting screened and find out what option might be right for you. #cancerawareness #screeningsaves #coloncancer #coloncancerscreeening

1 in 5 people will get cancer, what can you do about it? Today, September 24th, is #WorldCancerResearchDay. While we have made significant progress in fighting cancer, 1 in 5 people will receive this horrible diagnosis and 1 in 10 of us will die from it according to the WHO. With those odds, we or a loved one are likely to be impacted by cancer. Consider learning more about this disease, what you can do about it, and how you can help to advance research to fight it. And a special bonus in the Philadelphia area, consider a double win: the Philadelphia Marathon (and half marathon and 8k 😉) on Nov 22-24 is in partnership with the American Association for Cancer Research

This April is National Cancer Control Month 🩺 Join us as we raise awareness and empower everyone to take charge of their health! Cancer prevention and early detection can save lives.

The American Cancer Society has just released groundbreaking insights in their inaugural Cancer Facts and Figures for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander People (2024-2026), shedding light on a crucial aspect of healthcare equity: the need for disaggregated data. The report shows that cancer is the leading cause of death among several AANHPI groups, notably Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese individuals, with lung cancer topping the mortality charts for men across all ethnicities within this demographic. Championing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) isn't just about rhetoric; it's about actionable steps towards a more equitable future. Let's leverage disaggregated data as a powerful tool in our mission to drive health equity forward. Kudos to ACS for taking this vital step, and let's continue to collaborate and innovate towards a healthier, more inclusive world! 🌏💪 #HealthEquity #DEI #DataDrivenInsights #CancerPrevention #InclusionMatters #AANHPI

From 1st-30th of March let's join together and raise awareness for Prostate & Ovarian Cancer. Cancer Research UK aim to increase recognition, knowledge and improve research funds surrounding these diseases. Did you know? On Average, More than 52,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. That's 144 men every day. Raising awareness and encouraging the discussion means that ovarian cancer mortality rates are projected to fall by 15% in the UK between 2023-2025 and 2038-2040. Talk openly and spread the word. #ProstateCancerAwareness #OvarianCancerAwareness #MensHealth #WomensHealth #CancerResearch #EarlyDetection #CancerAwareness #ScreeningSavesLives #HealthAwareness

Speaking from experience - GET SCREENED - it saved my life; it could save yours too. The American Cancer Society recently reported that of all cancer deaths in people under 50, colorectal cancer is now #1 in men and #2 in women. March is #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth, which is a perfect time to get screened. While there is no foolproof way to prevent cancer, you can reduce your risk by making healthy choices and getting screened.

On this World Cancer Day, we acknowledge the strength of collaboration. We are aware that each and every one of us can, no matter how tiny, make a difference, and that when we work together, we can actually lessen the impact of cancer on the world. Even though there have been incredible improvements in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, many of us still lack access to basic cancer care.  We encourage everyone, no matter who you are or where you live, to contribute to the global effort to eradicate cancer on February 4th. What are you going to do on this World Cancer Day to close the gap in cancer care? #closethecaregap #worldcancerday #worldcancerawarenessday #cancerawareness #cancercare #novel #healthtech #novelhealthtech
