TL;DR: those of us lucky enough to age are likelier to get cancer. Age is a much stronger risk factor than any environmental or life style risk. Share far and wide so we can stop judging people with cancer for their poor choices. 💜 theconversation.com/the-leading-...

The leading risk factor for cancer isn’t what you think
The factor most associated with cancer is unavoidable: aging. Older adults with cancer benefit from a geriatric assessment before making treatment decisions, but this is still not routine care.

Quote from Dr. Willie Underwood, AMA President: "The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) plays an important role in helping physicians and patients make evidence-based decisions about preventive care. The composition of this new slate represents a significant departure from the Task Force’s traditional membership. We believe maintaining a strong primary care voice must remain central to its work."
