Sami Mansfield: An excellent read from our UK colleagues about cancer risks and prevention
Sami Mansfield shared
“The role of cancer prevention continues to be viewed by the public as simply the importance of getting your screenings, this can be at best early detection. Yet the opportunity of risk reduction through the role of lifestyle behaviors is lagging far behind.
While this is often perceived as individuals lack of interest in making these changes, I would argue that most individuals simply don’t know or are not aware of how significant these habits ARE.
Public policy change is one opportunity to educate, empower and make change!
An excellent read from our UK colleagues!”
Quoting
“The profound impact of a cancer diagnosis, whether personal or affecting a loved one, is undeniable – but a cancer diagnosis does not have to be inevitable.
In this long read, Primary Care Cancer Lead at East Midlands Cancer Alliance and Cancer Research UK (CRUK), Dr Ben Noble, calls for a shift in public health messaging towards prevention and the prioritisation of metabolic health.”
