🎗️ National Cancer Prevention Month
National Cancer Prevention Month highlights steps that can help reduce cancer risk and emphasizes the importance of early detection.
While not all cancer is preventable, many risks can be lowered through informed choices and routine screenings.
Prevention and early detection may include:
Staying up-to-date on recommended screenings (such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap tests)
Avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol use
Using sun protection
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
Knowing your family health history
Access to screening and prevention resources can save lives, and community-based education plays a critical role in helping individuals take action.
