shermandarlene+FollowCancer Deaths Drop—But Here’s the TwistBig news: Cancer death rates are actually going down for both men and women, thanks to better screening and treatments! Lung cancer deaths are dropping the fastest, but here’s the plot twist—some cancers like prostate (for men) and stomach (for women) are on the rise. Plus, new cases in women are creeping up in more areas than men, partly due to lifestyle factors. It’s a mixed bag, but overall, progress is real! #CancerAwareness #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthroughs #CancerResearch #PublicHealth #Health172Share
shermandarlene+FollowStatins: Secret Weapon Against Cancer?Did you know that statins—yep, the cholesterol meds—might actually help people with certain blood cancers live longer? A new study found that patients with CLL or SLL who took statins had a 61% lower risk of dying from their cancer. Plus, they saw fewer deaths overall and slower disease progression. Researchers are still figuring out exactly how it works, but this could be a total game-changer for cancer treatment! #CancerResearch #Statins #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #CancerAwareness #Health464Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowPancreatic Surgery May Not Be Needed?Turns out, not everyone with high-risk pancreatic cysts needs surgery! A new Japanese study found that if you don’t have invasive nodules in your cysts, you might be able to skip the knife and just get monitored instead. Patients without these nodules had great survival rates—even without surgery. This could mean fewer people going through risky, tough recoveries for no reason. Major news for anyone facing a scary diagnosis! #PancreaticCancer #HealthNews #MedicalResearch #CancerAwareness #SurgeryAlternatives #Health70Share

It’s not all good news, but it’s a big step forward! #CancerAwareness #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #CancerResearch #Health523Share

While cancer cases have leveled off for men and ticked up just a bit for women, the overall trend is super positive. The annual drop in deaths slowed a little recently, but it’s still going down.

Ryan Lewis+FollowMultivitamins: Friend or Foe?Just when you thought popping a daily multivitamin was a healthy habit, an NHS oncologist says it could actually boost your cancer risk by up to 30%! Apparently, synthetic vitamins from pills can flood your body with way more nutrients than it needs, basically turning you into a buffet for cancer cells. Natural vitamins from food? Totally fine. But the charity Killing Cancer Kindly wants warning labels on all those supplement bottles. Would you still take your daily pill after hearing this? #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #Supplements #Wellness #WatercoolerMoment #Health192Share

rachel60+FollowShould We Rethink Seed Oils in Cooking?Whoa, new research is suggesting that the popular seed and veggie oils in our kitchens might be linked to aggressive breast cancer, mainly because of something called linoleic acid. Experts are saying moderation is key—not a full ban—and eating a balanced diet is still super important for cancer prevention. If you use oils like canola, soy, or sunflower, maybe just keep it in check, especially if you're high-risk. What do you think—will you be switching up your cooking habits?
