Did you know colorectal cancer disproportionately impacts Alaska Native, American Indian & Black people in the U.S.? #StandUpToCancer's Colorectal Cancer Health Equity Dream Team is addressing some of these disparities. Don't wait, get screened! #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth

#WorldCancerDay 🌍 If you have a family history of #ColorectalCancer ask your doctor about early screening and #genetictesting to determine if you have #LynchSyndrome in your family. It's important to understand your cancer risk in order to take action to reduce it.

Vaccines don't save lives. Vaccinations do. Invitations for colonoscopy don't save lives. Colonoscopies do.

Better title for this study might have been: “Colonoscopies prevent cancers and deaths only if people do them” Must recognize that study was more about “invitation for colonoscopy” than “effectiveness” nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… – at Culver City, CA

Check out the 13 NEW articles published today on the value and future of #patientnavigation for equitable care across the cancer continuum. Thrilled to be involved in this key snapshot of the state of the navigation field.
🤝There has never been a better time to embrace & move toward widespread implementation of #PatientNavigation, particularly as we consider systemic racism & individual health equities. Important work from @NNRTnews in our latest supplement: bit.ly/3NV2AUW
