National Cancer Research Month is marked each May, and it recognizes the importance of cancer research and the contributions of researchers, physician-scientists, survivors, and patient advocates across the United States.

H&B joins the cause of raising awareness. Some months are marked for more than one cancer; May is one of such months. Along with bladder cancer, which we talked about in the previous blog, May is also brain cancer awareness month, and melanoma and skin cancer awareness month.

Bladder Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated every year in May. About 5% of all new cancer cases happen to be bladder cancers. It is the only one among the top 10 cancers whose outcome prognosis is progressively getting worse! You can help H&B raise awareness of the disease by using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

Mindfulness is being adopted frequently in different aspects of cancer control. The advantages of mindfulness practices are being followed to handle the adverse effects of treatment.

There is a growing need to discuss cancer health inequities in the United States.

April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, so H&B uses this perfect opportunity to raise awareness for men and boys about this disease and help them learn more about testicular cancer.

Smoking is the number one cause of cancer in the world. Our bodies are designed to deal with some damage, but they often can’t cope with the number of harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke. Smoking can be part of one’s routine, which can make it hard to break. But, luckily, help is obtainable.
