Your chair might be raising your cancer risk!

'Emerging research suggests extended sedentary time, in and of itself, could increase certain cancer risks -regardless of your weight or physical activity level.'

Sitting for hours may be quietly raising cancer risk — even if you exercise. A large 2015 ACS study of 77,000+ women found those who sat ≥6 hours a day had a 10% higher risk of any cancer (and invasive breast cancer) than women who sat under 3 hours. The link held after accounting for body weight and physical activity.

Observational study for now, but highly plausible

Tuesday Myth Buster | Survivor’s Solitude, Voices of Support

MYTH: Once cancer treatment ends, survivors return to normal life.

REALITY: The end of treatment doesn't always mean the end of challenges. Survivors may face ongoing health concerns, workplace barriers, emotional distress, and isolation.

Cancer survivorship is more than survival—it’s about living with dignity, confidence, and support.

Let’s make survivor support programs a priority in hospitals, workplaces, and communities. Share this post and help amplify survivors’ voices.

The developing world’s cancer burden: practical solutions needed , not just statistics.

The way forward requires action across the entire cancer care continuum:

Prevent: Control tobacco use and expand HPV vaccination.

Detect early: Build awareness, expand evidence-based screening, and speed diagnosis.

Make treatment affordable: Stronger public coverage, transparent pricing and access to essential medicines.

Bring care closer: Strengthen district services and referral networks.

Support beyond treatment: Rehabilitation, palliative care, mental-health support and survivorship plans.

Cancer care must be timely, affordable and continuous, not a financial crisis for families.

What should we prioritise first? Join the conversation.
