Did you know most cases of #lungcancer are caused by #smoking? 🚬 Smoking, air pollution, exposure to radon gas, genetics and exposure to certain chemicals can all increase your risk of developing lung cancer! #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #cancersupport

Happy #LungCancerAwarenessMonth ! 😊 Did you know there are four different grades of lung cancer? Talk to your GP if you're worried about lung cancer, the earlier you are diagnosed the better and your GP can let you know what treatments are better suited to you 👨‍⚕️

What treatments are there for #lungcancer ? 🏥 It depends on what type of lung cancer you have and your general health. It may include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We hope you have learnt a lot about this common cancer with us during #LungCancerAwarenessMonth 🖤

We are disappointed there is still no update regarding the 10-year cancer plan while BAME people continue to suffer from later cancer diagnoses and worse survival rates. Our founder Ololade 👑 gave evidence helping to shape the plan. It shouldn't be left any longer.

"Studies show the products may double the risk of uterine cancer, but tradition, societal pressure and personal taste create obstacles to change" BAME communities face a number of unique factors that complicate attitudes towards cancer. Read more here theguardian.com/world/2022/dec…

Black families are: ➡️5X more likely to be behind on energy bills ➡️4X more likely to be behind on their rent/mortgage It is likely many BAME people will have to neglect their health and wellbeing to ensure they have the money to pay bills and rent. theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

🚨Figures released today show the number of cancers diagnosed at stages 1 and 2 in the most deprived areas (47%) of England is much lower than those caught early in the least deprived areas (53%). We are working to try and reduce this fatal difference. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinical-…

This is fantastic work! The pilot project is underway across four intensive care units to improve hair and skin care for patients from diverse backgrounds. We are incredibly excited to watch them progress. Read more below:

Today, we are proud to stand with 60+ cancer charities that have come together, to speak with #OneCancerVoice to express our disappointment that the Government have ditched their 10 year cancer plan.

98% of junior doctors have voted YES to strike action in England, a new record. Junior doctors will take action next month starting with a 72-hour walkout after "being pushed to this point by 15 years of pay cuts." #PayRestoration #NHS #juniordoctor #medicalstudents #england

🚨 New study shows black women living in England are more likely to be diagnosed with late stage cancer 🚨 The later a cancer is diagnosed, the more difficult it is to receive successful treatment. This reinforces why our mission is so important. #cancerawareness #bame
