NO to processed meat 🙅‍♀️

Alam mo ba na ang mga madalas nating almusal tulad ng longganisa, tocino, at hotdog ay categorized bilang Group 1 Carcinogen ng World Health Organization para sa colore**al cancer?

Ibig sabihin, sapat ang ebidensya na ang regular na pagkain nito ay maaaring magdulot ng colore**al cancer. Tumataas ng hanggang 18% ang iyong cancer risk sa pagkain ng 50 grams ng processed meat araw-araw.

A simple diet change can help protect your colon from cancer.

Colore**al Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Colore**al cancer often starts silently — with little to no symptoms. By the time signs appear, the disease may already be advanced. That’s why early screening saves lives.

I’m grateful to have been one of the reactors in a recent discussion on managing re**al cancer, where we shared insights on diagnosis, staging, evolving treatment strategies and surveillance. These conversations are crucial — not just for us as clinicians, but for improving patient outcomes through timely care.

🔹 Know your risk
🔹 Don’t ignore subtle symptoms
🔹 Get screened — especially starting at age 45 or earlier if high-risk

Early detection can make all the difference.

Let’s continue raising awareness, encouraging screening, and fighting colore**al cancer together. 💙
