Part 2 of my series on men's health focuses on #cancer. 1 in 2 men will get cancer in the US. Prostate, lung and colon cancer are most common. @MSignorile & @benryanwriter generously shared their stories with me. Please read/RT/

Mike Signorile told me when he was diagnosed with prostate #cancer, he knew he had to speak out about it to help alert and demystify the process of dxd & treatment. He speaks to all of that here.

Ben Ryan talks about the emotional toll #cancer takes even as the treatment ravages you. Both Mike and Ben talked about the problems inherent in the US healthcare system and that was WITH them both having incomes and health insurance.

I’ve shared before that my mother died when I was 19. She was only 47 and had acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a blood cancer. I found out after she died that clinical trials for AML treatments enroll very few Black patients.
Diversity in clinical trials is the difference between life and death. That’s why I’m excited to be partnering with @CancerSupportHQ once again.
@CancerSupportHQ’s free Peer Clinical Trials Support Program matches Black or African American cancer patients or individuals at a higher risk for a cancer diagnosis with a trained peer — a Black cancer patient or survivor with experience participating in a cancer clinical trial.
Hey all, I don't often post non-@BonJovi / @JonBonJovi / @TheRealSambora / @dbdavidbryan things on here, but today is #WorldCancerDay so I'm making an exception.

If you don't know who is behind By Jovi, it has been MelissaByJovi (original, right?) for most of the time since 1997. Shout-out to Miriam who started the group in 1996. Yes, I know Facebook/Twitter wasn't around then. By Jovi was started as an email group. :) /2
Some of you might remember a (fan) moderator called MelissaByJovi on the BWJBJ fan club message board and chat room back when Mrs B was in charge and @robfuz was around, and for a time when @TheMattBongiovi took over too. That was also me. /3
Oggi è la giornata mondiale contro il cancro. Perché investire nella ricerca? La nostra comprensione del cancro ha fatto passi da gigante. Ecco alcune novità ma anche tante difficoltà. Un thread. #WorldCancerDay 🎗️ 
1) Terapia cellulare con CAR-T: ingegnerizzare i linfociti T, i “soldati” del nostro sistema immunitario, ed addestrarli in modo tale da riconoscere e distruggere le cellule tumorali. Vengono estratti dal campione di sangue del paziente, modificati geneticamente e re-infusi.
Vaccini terapeutici: utilizzando un componente (una proteina) specifico verso il tumore di un paziente si può sviluppare una risposta immunitaria capace di aggredire il tumore stesso, esattamente come accade contro un agente patogeno.
Il 4 febbraio 2023 si celebra la XXIII edizione della Giornata mondiale contro il cancro, promossa dalla UICC e sostenuta dall’OMS. È un importante richiamo a riflettere su cosa Istituzioni e individui possono fare insieme per combattere il cancro.

"Close the Care Gap - Everyone deserves access to cancer care" è il tema della campagna 2022-2024: lo slogan richiama l’attenzione sull’importanza della comprensione e del riconoscimento delle disuguaglianze nella cura del cancro in tutto il mondo.

“I numeri del cancro in Italia 2022” stima che in Italia nel 2022 siano 390.700 le nuove diagnosi di tutti i tumori (205.000 negli uomini e 185.700 nelle donne). Erano 376.600 nel 2020.

Today is #WorldCancerDay and I encourage all, but especially women, to please go to your doctor for regular check ups, listen to your body, and demand cancer marker tests be done. Ovarian, cervical, and breast cancers can and are treatable if caught early.
There is nothing as arduous as the battle with cancer. Even though I have been in remission for 3 years now, my body is still not back to its regular self and every 6 months I have to wait and see if it's happened to come back or not. #WorldCancerDay
I want us to be honest about it. I hated the faux positivity I felt I had to perform as a cancer patient and I had the performative empathy people gave me. On this #WorldCancerDay, the best thing you can do for a cancer patient is just fight alongside them, not pity them.
Today is #WorldCancerDay.

🔴🎥Watch LIVE as WHO/Europe holds a virtual press briefing on COVID-19 with @hans_kluge and technical experts, including a message from @aronanderson ahead of #WorldCancerDay twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
The European Region has recorded 12 million new cases in the past week. This is the highest weekly case incidence since the start of the pandemic and is largely being driven by the highly transmissible Omicron variant, as it sweeps from West to East @hans_kluge
30% of all COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began have been reported this year alone.
We now have nearly 150 million reported cases of #COVID19 in Europe and Central Asia to date.
22% of all tests recorded are positive @hans_kluge

#OnThisDay in 1915, American physicist Robert Hofstadter was born!

He is also known for his accurate prediction of two types of meson, which are subatomic particles consisting of one quark and one antiquark: the omega-meson and the rho-meson.
Hofstadter contributed to the development of nuclear medicine, specifically the use of gamma-ray spectroscopy techniques such as positron emission tomography. These medical imaging techniques are used for the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer as well as neurological conditions.

“#Radiotherapy has been an optimal treatment option during the #COVID19 pandemic for cancer patients b/c it doesn't compete for in-demand hospital resources such as intensive care unit beds & is amenable to treatments w/ shorter regimens of radiation.” — @IAEANA's May Abdel-Wahab
It's #WorldCancerDay so, let's talk about some of the utter nonsense that's promoted as cancer cure #quackery. Spoiler: none of them cure any kind of cancer. They might give you other health conditions to deal with, though.

MMS (sodium chlorite solution) & CD (chlorine dioxide). MMS is sold as "water purification drops" & it does do that. It's also touted as a cure for literally everything, inc. cancer. It doesn't cure anything. It does cause gastrointestinal distress.

Homeopathy: substances so extremely diluted in water or ethanol that no traces of the original molecule remain. In quite a few cases, that's a good thing--because the stuff in question is pretty nasty. Anyway, at best it's just sugar.

3. #WorldCancerDay The greatest incidence of AMI in cancer pts is within 30d of Ca diagnosis, many treatments can ⬆️risk aswell as shared risk factors. We sought to study whether STEMI pts with cancer are less likley to get PPCI & whether they benefit academic.oup.com/ehjacc/advance…

It’s #WorldCancerDay which is something I never thought I’d care about. But then I was diagnosed w bone marrow cancer aka Multiple Myeloma this past summer. I was 38, had a 4 month old. Didn’t feel sick at all but I knew something was wrong. Here’s some stuff I want you to know:
The first doctor I went to told me nothing was wrong and that I needed to lose weight. My second opinion doctor is the reason we discovered that my bone marrow was full of cancer. Always be the expert in your body. Advocate for yourself. Because these doctors are just people.
Then, the first oncologist I saw was a mess and sexist and AGAIN, I had to get a second opinion to get to the bottom of what was going on, even though he was “an expert.” I finally got an appt with a sought-after specialist who barely squeezed me in, and that changed everything.

Los países desarrollados suelen tener más incidencia (casos nuevos al año) de cáncer. Argentina se encuentra entre los países con alta incidencia, aunque sin alcanzar la de Estados Unidos, Canadá, Australia y europeos.
En los países desarrollados predominan los cánceres asociados a factores de riesgo no contagiosos como la obesidad.
