Appendix cancer is very rare, and symptoms can look like other illnesses. Here are some symptoms to look out for, provided by @acpmpresearch #AugustForAppendixCancer
Collecting memories ✅ Collecting germs ❌ If you are planning on doing any travel, make sure you are up to date on your vaccines! Talk to your doctor and let them know if you are leaving the country to see if there are any extra vaccines you may need.
It’s estimated that in the US, four out of every ten cancer cases are associated with preventable risk factors. #Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death. Learn more about Chapter 2 of the #IowaCancerPlan here: ow.ly/VKm050PtEu4 #CancerIowa
Rumor Control: It’s still legal to teach about #HPV & the #HPVvaccine in #Iowa. An Iowa bill signed into law stopped the state mandate requiring all school districts to provide education about HPV, but it doesn't prohibit schools from teaching about HPV. ow.ly/IMjY50PrrcC
Community health centers provide care to everyone regardless of age, income, or insurance. Learn more about Health Care Centers in Iowa by visiting the @iowapca ow.ly/jj9150Prrav #NHCW23
August is Appendix Cancer Awareness Month. Appendix cancer is a rare cancer diagnosed in approximately 10 people per million per year. Learn more from @acpmpresearch #AugustForAppendixCancer ow.ly/wzes50PrqZr
Unfortunately, many #Iowans experience challenges in making healthy choices because of other factors — like where they live, their race or ethnicity, education, physical or mental abilities, or income. These differences are known as #healthdisparities. ow.ly/nrhL50Prr1j
