It’s May, Cancer Awareness Month. No matter your skin tone, you are at risk of skin cancer due to overexposure to UV rays!

Wearing deodorant won’t increase your risk of breast cancer. It’s a personal choice what you do for your body, but don’t let cancer risk impact this decision!

This looks like a GREAT panel discussion featuring experts including @jrgralow, @drteplinsky, & other oncology experts on an important topic: "Cancer Misinformation: Truth or Consequences."This issue comes up daily for me in my interactions w/ my pts. Registration info is below!

Being familiar with how your breasts look and feel can make it easier to notice changes and seek an opinion from your doctor! #bcsm #CancerRealTalk

[Cancer Real Talk @CancerRealTalk1]

If you don’t know @warriormegsie, her enthusiasm, kindness, and wealth of ideas are 🔥🔥🔥!

[Cancer Real Talk @CancerRealTalk1]

We’re looking forward to our next steps and increased patient and patient advocate collaborations with #CancerRealTalk! One of our founders, @SaraBelPonMD, met with @warriormegsie to brainstorm, and we are so excited for what the future brings! #PatientVoices #PatientCentered

[Martina Murphy, MD @DrMMurphy]

Much to be hopeful about in the latest @CAonline report. For #gyncsm - Thrilled to see benefit of #HPVvaccination be realized in ⬇️ rates of #cervicalcancer. Still so much work to do - incidence/mortality of #endometrialcancer still ⬆️ & remains more deadly for Black patients.

#Cancer #Screening is for everyone! Individual factors/history may change recommendations for testing, but routine screening tests for breast, prostate, cervical, colon, and other cancers are available! Talk to your doctor today to see if you’re up to date!#CancerRealTalk

@LungCancerCan This is so important as many think lung cancer is only a disease amongst those who currently or previously smoked! #LCSM

[Cancer Real Talk @CancerRealTalk1]

Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. #LCSM

[Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation @Roy_Castle_Lung]

Lung cancer is a disease that does not discriminate. No matter your age or gender, if you have lungs then you can get #LungCancer.

Know the signs and symptoms and notice the changes in your health. Catching lung cancer early can save lives.

[Cancer Real Talk @CancerRealTalk1]

We're back! We're hoping to join forces with accounts on other social media platforms and share content on a website! We're looking for individuals who might be willing to contribute to blocks as we start up again - could be patients, advocates, researchers, healthcare workers!

[Emeline Aviki, MD, MBA @EmelineAvikiMD]

Please retweet so patients can share their experience!

Do you have #cancer & have you had personal experience with #PriorAuthorization? This survey was designed to understand YOUR experience w/ prior authorization for cancer care. Takes < 10 & anonymous! https://t.co/QnAa3CqYwd

[Eleonora Teplinsky, MD, FASCO @drteplinsky]

Every time I look at social media these days, I see oncology misinformation from non-medical “influencers” - everything from cancer screening to food “cures” ❌. Thanks but 🚫 thanks. This is why health care professionals need to be present online!

[Cancer Real Talk @CancerRealTalk1]

What cancer #myths do you find most prevalent on social media? What do you want to hear about? #CancerRealTalk #MedEd

[Eleonora Teplinsky, MD, FASCO @drteplinsky]

We need to stop using the word “prevent” when we talk about food and cancer. Just saw a reel on IG about how soy can prevent breast CA. If only it were that easy…!! #bcsm

[Eleonora Teplinsky, MD, FASCO @drteplinsky]

So much misinformation on nutrition online. This is why we need verification of health and science accounts so people know who to believe! Always be wary of someone trying to sell you something. #CancerRealTalk

[Cancer Real Talk @CancerRealTalk1]

A new study published in Cancer by @WarnerEcho evals cancer nutrition misinformation on @Pinterest. Over 40% of content claimed to prevent cancer, 1/2 of information came from for profit accounts and 1/3 came from those selling product. So many 🚩🚩 online! #CancerRealTalk
