Friday Five – National Cancer Prevention Month

Feb 23, 2024 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed |

According to the American Association for Cancer Research, “The federal government estimates that nearly 2 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer (other than non-melanoma skin cancer) during 2023, and that more than 600,000 died from their disease. Research shows that more than 40 percent of these cases and nearly half of the deaths can be attributed to preventable causes – smoking, excess body weight, physical inactivity, and excessive exposure to the sun, among others.” This week’s Friday Five tests your knowledge about cancer prevention and provides the latest information about what you can do to stay healthy.

Test Your Knowledge

Take the American Association for Cancer Research’s Cancer Prevention Quiz to test your knowledge and learn more about cancer risk reduction.

The More You Know About Cancer Prevention

The World Health Organization estimates that 30% to 50% of all cancer cases are preventable. Studies found awareness gaps about cancer prevention strategies such as screening and vaccination may reduce benefits from these tactics.

Screening, vaccination, and genetic testing are valuable tools to lower cancer risk … if you are aware of the recommendations. The more you know could be lifesaving. From the @AACR: https://t.co/0vDbeyrCfl #NationalCancerPreventionMonth pic.twitter.com/j5mP9QsXtp
