Mel Mann, Patient Advocate at Health Equity, shared on X:
“Screening catches cancer earlier, when treatment is more effective.
Evidence shows colorectal, breast, cervical, and (for high-risk people) lung cancer screening reduce death rates in large studies.
Knowing family history and acting on new or persistent symptoms matters just as much.
Talk with your clinician about the tests that fit your age, risk, and history.
Education only – not medical advice.
