Every year, doctors will diagnose about 297,790 new cases of breast cancer. That number is trending up: Lately, breast cancer incidence has been increasing about 0.5% each year. But thanks to early detection and more effective treatments, deaths from breast cancer are on the decline. Unfortunately, not everyone benefits equally from these advances: Black women with breast cancer are about 40% more likely to die from their disease than white women. Screening by accredited programs coupled with access to targeted therapies and other advanced treatment can help improve survival for all patients. To mark National Cancer Prevention Month in February, learn which patients should be screened and how to boost screening engagement with VHAN's Cancer Screening Quick Reference Guide on the VHAN Hub: https://lnkd.in/eHZU6ArH #cancerawareness #cancerscreening #breastcancerawareness #nationalcancerpreventionmonth

🌸 October’s here, and so is the fight against breast cancer! 🌸 Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime? That's approximately 13% of women, which means it's likely that we all know someone affected by this disease. Early detection is key to improving survival rates. The 5-year survival rate for women diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia is about 95% when the disease is detected early! Regular mammograms and self-exams play a crucial role in finding cancer at its earliest and most treatable stage 🩷 Share this information, remind your loved ones to get checked, and help us in the fight against breast cancer.

Bowel symptoms can be so ambiguous which can sometimes make it very difficult to know should you worry? If you are having rectal bleeding, bowel changes, abdominal pain or other new or unusual symptoms - please ask the question to your Dr, rather than thinking it is minor, or infrequent and so likely nothing and can be ignored. Unfortunately when young, we always think cancer is something that happens to others. We are busy, so we will think about it later. Early onset colorectal cancer is rising at an alarming rate. Bowel cancer has a 90% success rate of cure if caught early. So don’t ignore or delay getting bowel symptoms checked - it could save your life. Check out the below post for more info.

In a recent Health & Wellness Magzine article, we break down the basics of lung cancer, the importance of early detection and myths about the cancer type.
