While India has lower breast cancer incidence compared to the USA, we tragically lose exponentially more lives each year, with only 50% surviving. In contrast, in the USA, only 15% are lost to breast cancer. The primary reason is that in India, diagnosis often occurs at later stages, resulting in premature loss of lives. This can and must be improved through increased awareness and proactive health measures. #breastCancer #statistics #prevention

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide, with approximately 2.3 million new cases each year. In 2024, more than 360,000 people will be diagnosed, and tragically, every 50 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman loses her life to #BreastCancer. We must advocate for societal change—raising awareness, improving diagnosis, and ensuring access to timely and effective treatment. Systematic improvements in breast health promotion, early detection, and diagnosis are critical to saving lives. 🎀🎀 #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #EarlyDetectionMatters #HealthcareEquity #SaveLives

The Targeted Prostate Health Check programme has made significant strides in prostate cancer detection, identifying 263 additional cases and surpassing national detection rates. Prostate cancer often shows no symptoms until advanced stages, making early detection crucial for improving prognosis and survival rates. If you're at high risk—such as Black men, men over 50, or those with a family history—don't delay. Getting checked could save your life. Share the results of this study and promote routine testing. Early detection isn't just about catching cancer early; it leads to better outcomes and peace of mind.

Good perspective. But: It is important to be certain the screening is actually getting done, not just that patients enroll on a trial. For example you can’t benefit if the colonoscopy isn’t done in an intent-to-screen analysis that includes patients who never get the screening. https://lnkd.in/e-6URp57 Doing more cancer screening won't reduce Black-white health disparities https://lnkd.in/ewBDji-5

In response to the sharp drop in prostate cancer referrals during COVID-19, the Targeted Prostate Health Check (TPHC) programme was launched by SSCA, Medefer, and Health Innovation KSS. Focusing on identifying asymptomatic, at-risk men, it started as a pilot and later expanded across Surrey and Sussex. The results? Higher detection rates and increased awareness. Early detection is vital – spread the word and encourage more men to get checked!

Sometimes we should treat cancer less Well-chosen ‘deintensification’ of cancer care can help people and the planet, argue four cancer researchers. The practice can involve, where appropriate, fewer or shorter treatments, lower doses, or omitting or substituting a therapy. For patients, “less treatment means fewer side effects, less time away from home, and reduced out-of-pocket costs”, they write. For health systems, it means less expense, less waste and a lower carbon footprint. But it will take a change in perspective, and well-designed research, to support the shift. #cancercare #cancer #research https://lnkd.in/d7EhdfUU
