Colorectal cancer awareness month is just around the corner (March), and it's one chronic condition that has hit home. After a routine colonoscopy at age 50, a friend of mine was diagnosed in 2022. Thankfully, he caught it in the early stages and is cancer free today. The CDC recommends all adults ages 45 follow CRC screening guidelines. There are several different options available, but adherence is lower than one might expect. According to the National Cancer Institute, only 71.8% of Americans were up to date back in 2021. This means, of course, that almost 3 out of every 10 Americans are overdue for their screening. Fortunately, employers and Quest Diagnostics Employer Population Health can help. We offer the Insure One annual FIT (fecal immunochemical test) with 98% specificity and 87% sensitivity. The test is self-collected, meaning there's no time off work, and no preparation required. If you're a large employer, this is an affordable and scalable way to address social determinants of health and create health equity across your population.

Regular breast cancer screenings are a vital step in early detection and prevention. By sharing statistics, we at The Phillips Group hope to spread the word and encourage timely detection. 💕 #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

This March, as we observe Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, it’s important we cover the impact and significance of this disease. Colorectal cancer, affecting both the colon and rectum, stands as the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States. Yet, it’s also one of the most preventable and, if detected early, treatable forms of cancer. Here are some eye-opening statistics: Annually, tens of thousands of individuals are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and despite advances in screening and treatment, it remains a leading cause of cancer deaths. However, the survival rate significantly increases with early detection, highlighting the importance of regular screenings, especially for those over 45 or with a family history of the disease. This month, let’s turn these statistics into action. Awareness can save lives—yours or someone you love. If you’re due for a screening or have been putting it off, now is the time to prioritize your health. Remember, early detection is key to prevention and successful treatment. Together, we can fight colorectal cancer. Let’s spread the word, encourage our loved ones to get screened, and support those affected by this disease. Book a call at SpeakWithDrSamm.com for details.

The fight against cancer is witnessing a remarkable era. With 2 million cases expected this year, the battle is intense. Yet, there's lots of hope. Early detection and survival rates are the best they've ever been. Advancements in treatments are also making a significant difference. From surgeries to drugs, the approach to fighting cancer is more effective than ever. But, challenges remain, especially with rising cases in younger populations due to lifestyle factors. Vaccines for diseases like breast cancer are on the horizon, signaling a new frontier in prevention. Meanwhile, genetic testing offers personalized insights, promising a more targeted approach to cancer care. #PrecisionMedicine As we celebrate these advancements, we're reminded of the complexity of cancer. It's not just about treating the disease but also about preventing it, understanding its causes, and improving patient care.

National Previvor Day🌟 A PREVIVOR is someone who has not been diagnosed with cancer but is at a higher risk for the disease due to certain genetic mutations (BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, 4TM, PALB2, TP53, MLHI, MSH2, MSH6, etc.) or a family history of cancer. Being a previvor does not mean you will get cancer. But a previvor needs to be proactive and monitored appropriately to reduce the risk. Many hereditary cancers can be detected early and successfully treated, or even avoided all together with preventative action. The word was coined by a Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE) community member back in 2000 from a challenge or the nonprofit's message board. National Previvor Day is observed in the middle of the last week of September, during National Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Week, bridging the gap between the National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month of September and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. This is a day that many don’t probably recognize, but it’s a day that I believe will be a part of many more women’s lives in the near future. Recently, Nina Garcia from Project Runway shared she had a preventative double mastectomy after finding she was positive for the BRCA gene.
