In February, we observe Gallbladder Cancer and Bile Duct Cancer Awareness Month. Many people aren’t familiar with these cancers and what to look for. Take a moment to learn which symptoms to look for, and remember to always call your provider with any questions or concerns you may have.

Caregivers can make all the difference for those living with cancer. Their selfless sacrifices to care for those they love are appreciated every day. On this National Caregivers Day, please take a moment to thank a caregiver for their impact on the lives of others.

It’s American Heart Month, and did you know cancer survivors are at a higher risk for heart health issues? So, whether you’re in treatment or not, be sure you’re getting follow-up care and doing everything you can to protect your heart. You can learn more at www.cancer.org.

It is estimated that nearly 40% of cancers are linked to risk factors that each of us can change to help prevent cancer. A few of these risk factors include practicing sun safety, avoiding to***co, drinking less alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight through a healthy diet and exercise. Small changes create big chances to prevent cancer.

To***co is the leading risk of lung cancer. Avoiding or quitting to***co is an important part of cancer prevention. If you or someone you know need help quitting smoking, call the Tennessee To***co QuitLine at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) or text "QUIT" to 615-795-0600. For more information, you can visit www.tnquitline.org for FREE assistance.

It’s National Cancer Prevention Month! Remember, simple actions such as choosing the right foods, making time for physical activity, and scheduling your recommended screenings can all have a huge impact on your cancer risk. Make time for yourself in 2026 to reduce your cancer risk and talk to your provider about a plan that may be right for you.

Cancer and its life-changing impact affect millions of people each year. Roughly 18.6 million cancer survivors are living in the US, and each story matters. Use your voice and your story to educate and encourage others to take charge of their health, including staying up to date on all recommended cancer screenings.

January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month. A new study led by the American Cancer Society shows that firefighters have a higher risk of death from skin, kidney, and other types of cancer. Firefighters are exposed to cancer-causing chemicals that can increase their risk of cancer. You can learn more about these risks here: https://bit.ly/4qu2eY0.

It’s Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and a great time to talk to your provider about your screening recommendations. Screening and early detection save lives. You can get more information on the Tennessee Breast & Cervical Screening Program as well as other screening resources at www.tn.gov/tbcsp.

Breast imaging is not one-size-fits-all — and that’s intentional.

For survivors, going through extra imaging, additional scans, and more can feel overwhelming — but they aren’t a sign that something is wrong.

In this session, Dr. Allton clearly explains the difference between screening, diagnostic, and interventional imaging, helping normalize why survivors are often monitored more closely after treatment.

Diagnostic imaging is designed to be thoughtful, attentive care designed to protect your health.

January is a time for renewed focus and dedication toward setting plans to meet our goals in the year ahead.
