.@drkelseymartin tells @WSJhealth that #bloodcancers like Hodgkin’s Lymphoma can initially get overlooked in women because night sweats (a common symptom) are also a symptom of menopause or perimenopause: "I do think women’s symptoms can easily get dismissed if doctors don’t do their due diligence.” wsj.com/health/wellnes… @YaleCancer @YaleHematology

#Colorectalcancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in men and 2nd in women. Know the signs: fatigue, bowel changes, anemia, weight loss, and get screened early, says @Cecchini_OncMD. connecticut.news12.com/yale-medical-o… @YaleCancer @YaleGICancers

Thanks to widespread #coloncancer screening over the past 30 years, incidence and mortality have declined and cancers are being found earlier. Dr. Xavier Llor @YaleGICancers explains why colonoscopy remains so important: wtnh.com/news/health/wh… @YaleCancer

'Exercise, such as walking, might lower #cancer risk through changes in inflammation, metabolism, and immune function, explained Dr. Melinda Irwin. “These biomarkers [of inflammation] have been shown to increase cancer risk, and some trials have found a reduction in these biomarkers with exercise.” prevention.com/health/a701951… @YaleCancer @YaleSPH

When it comes to screening for #lungcancer, @DrRoyHerbstYale says, 'There’s no question that “screening definitely saves lives, and finding it early makes a difference.” time.com/7358444/lung-c… @YaleCancer @TIME
