Knowing your risk can help with early detection and better outcomes.

#Jump4June #UterineCancerAwareness #KnowYourRisk

[IGCS @IGCSociety]

The future of gynecologic oncology is jumping into action.

Members of the IGCS Early Career Network are joining the #Jump4June challenge to raise awareness of uterine cancer and inspire the next generation of leaders in women's cancer care.

Their jump is a signal to early career gynecologic cancer specialists around the world: your voice matters, your advocacy matters, and your leadership matters.

Who's next? We challenge our fellow Early Career Network members to take the leap and join us.

Clinicians are trusted voices in their communities — but many don’t see themselves as advocates. In a new IGCS podcast episode, Julie Torode, PhD speaks with Dr. Khadija Warfa about why clinicians must help shape national cervical cancer elimination efforts across Africa, the barriers they face, and how to get started.

🎧 Listen now at https://t.co/KL1jihjTTY

A conversation focused on Africa's challenges is relevant to clinicians worldwide. Their discussion references a practical 10-step guide to advocacy for clinicians — designed to help healthcare professionals feel more confident engaging with policymakers, institutions, and their communities.

The #Jump4June challenge is back for #UCAM— and the IGCS team is officially warmed up. When June starts, its YOUR turn!

Please read the 2026 #Jump4June Challenge instructions and helpful tips at https://t.co/QIIKHl3k4b

Four years ago, IGCS and IGCAN united with dozens of advocacy organizations to declare June as international Uterine Cancer Awareness Month. Last year, the #Jump4June Challenge was a big part of the global campaign with 43 countries participating - help us top it this year.

Join us this June - jump up to raise awareness for uterine cancer, challenge stigma around gynecologic health, and encourage conversations that could help save lives.

Jump wherever you are. Jump your own way. Just help us get people talking.
The Challenge runs all month long, so feel free to jump more than once and make sure to challenge your friends to keep it going.

Visit https://t.co/F9QznvPGBo to learn how to participate, download campaign resources, and find tips for creating your own #Jump4June post.

The link between obesity, estrogen & uterine cancer

Obesity is one of the strongest risk factors—but stigma often keeps people from getting the support they need.

🔹 Fat cells produce estrogen.
More body fat = more estrogen = higher risk.

🔹 This isn’t about blame.
Health is shaped by many factors—not just personal choice.

✨ The solution? Support, not shame.
Let’s create space for informed, sustainable health choices.

The #Jump4June Challenge is one way you can encourage loved ones to make healthy lifestyle choices, like maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and understanding how obesity can increase the risk of uterine cancer.

💬 How can you support someone in making healthier choices?

[IGCS @IGCSociety]

Uterine cancer is one of the few cancers where both incidence and mortality rates are increasing. Yet many people have never even heard of it.

When cancer starts in the uterus (womb), it is called #UterineCancer (or womb cancer). The most common type occurs when abnormal cells grow in the endometrium (endometrial cancer).

A much rarer type is uterine sarcoma, which forms in the muscles and supporting tissues of the uterus.

"That's a wrap" on IGCANetwork for 2025!
One powerful year—made possible by you. This year, the global gynecologic cancer advocacy community sparked conversations, elevated survivor voices, and advanced change across the globe.

Here’s to the actions that inspired, empowered, and united us in 2025.
