shermandarlene+FollowAlcohol & Pancreatic Cancer: The Shocking LinkDid you know your go-to drink could be upping your cancer risk? A massive new study just linked beer and liquor (but not wine!) to a higher chance of pancreatic cancer. Even just 1-2 drinks a day can bump up your risk by 12% if you’re a woman, and heavy drinking makes it way worse. There’s really no “safe” level when it comes to alcohol and cancer, according to experts. Wild, right? #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #AlcoholFacts #Health #BodyHealth117Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowAppendix Cancer Cases Spiking in MillennialsDid you know appendix cancer is suddenly way more common in millennials and Gen X? A new study found cases have tripled or even quadrupled for people born in the late '70s and '80s. It’s still super rare, but experts are sounding the alarm since one in three cases now hits people under 50. There aren’t any standard screenings, so knowing the symptoms (like pain, bloating, or sudden fullness) could make a huge difference. Wild, right? #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #Millennials30Share
rachel60+FollowGenetic Cancer Risks Are Being Missed!Did you know tons of women with womb cancer aren’t getting the genetic tests they need? A new study found that even when their tumors are checked for Lynch syndrome (a gene issue that ups cancer risk), many aren’t referred for follow-up blood tests. That means some women—and their families—never find out they’re at higher risk for other cancers. Experts say this gap is leaving people in the dark when they could be getting help and support! #CancerAwareness #GeneticTesting #LynchSyndrome30Share
shermandarlene+FollowMillennials Facing Rare Cancer Spike?!Did you know appendix cancer rates have tripled (even quadrupled!) for Millennials compared to those born in the '40s? Researchers think changes in diet, gut health, and inflammation after WWII could be behind this wild jump. Docs are now calling for better screening and early detection. Kinda wild to think about, right? Time for more research and maybe a closer look at our health habits! #HealthNews #Millennials #CancerAwareness #Health #BodyHealth50Share
April Anderson+FollowCancer Clues in Your Blood—Years Early?!Imagine finding out you have cancer years before any symptoms show up. A new blood test spotted cancer DNA in people’s blood up to 3 years before they were officially diagnosed! Researchers say this could totally change how early we catch cancer (and maybe save lives). The test isn’t perfect yet, but it’s a huge step toward catching cancer way earlier than we ever thought possible. Would you want to know that far in advance? #CancerAwareness #HealthNews #EarlyDetection #Health #BodyHealth270Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowAppendix Cancer Cases Are Surging?!Did you know appendix cancer rates have shot up in younger people? A new study found cases have quadrupled for those born between 1985-1990! It’s still super rare, but doctors are worried since more young adults are getting hit with cancers that used to be for older folks. Researchers think environmental and lifestyle factors might be to blame. If you notice weird stomach pain, bloating, or feel full fast, don’t ignore it—get checked! #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #AppendixCancer #Health #BodyHealth70Share
shermandarlene+FollowAppendix Cancer Cases Jump for MillennialsDid you know appendix cancer is suddenly on the rise for millennials and Gen X? Diagnoses have tripled (even quadrupled!) for people born in the late '70s and '80s. It’s still rare, but doctors are sounding the alarm since most folks don’t notice symptoms until it’s advanced. If you ever feel weird pain, bloating, or fullness in your belly, don’t brush it off—get it checked! Early detection could make a huge difference.

Kristi Key+FollowGenetic Cancer Risks Are Being Missed!Did you know tons of women with a rare genetic cancer risk aren’t getting the tests they need? A new study found that even when womb cancer patients are screened for Lynch syndrome, many don’t get the follow-up genetic tests or counseling. That means both patients and their families could be missing out on life-saving info about their cancer risk. Wild that this is still happening with all our medical advances! #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #GeneticTesting30Share
Kristi Key+FollowWait, Is Your Lunch Raising Cancer Risk?Turns out, some everyday foods hiding in our kitchens could be upping our colon cancer risk—especially for younger folks. Scientists tracked over 1,600 patients and found those eating lots of pro-inflammatory foods (think: white bread, bacon, sugary drinks) had a way higher risk of dying from colon cancer. But swapping in more fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins can seriously lower that risk. Looks like what’s on your plate really matters! #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #EatSmart #Health20Share
Kristi Key+FollowBlood Test Spots Cancer Years Early?!Imagine going in for your annual bloodwork and finding out you could catch cancer up to three years before any symptoms show up. That’s what Johns Hopkins researchers just pulled off with a new blood test! They found traces of cancer in blood samples years before traditional diagnosis. Early detection could mean way better odds for treatment. This could totally change how we think about cancer screening. Would you add this to your yearly checkup? #CancerAwareness #HealthNews #EarlyDetection #Health80Share
