What you can do: ✅ Parents – ask your child’s doctor about HPV vaccination starting at age 9. ✅ Providers – recommend HPV vaccination at every visit. ✅ Communities – spread the word: HPV vaccination is cancer prevention.

HPV vaccination is safe and protects against six types of cancer – including cervical, oropharyngeal, and anal cancers. Recent data show no gains in HPV vaccination coverage, falling short of national goals. We must act now to protect today’s children from future HPV-related cancers.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 🩵 Here are 4️⃣ facts to know about prostate cancer. Share these with a friend, a family member, or a loved one.

A blue graphic with white text reading, "Prostate cancer usually grows slowly. If caught early, it is highly treatable. It’s also common. Roughly 3.5 million people in the U.S. are living with prostate cancer.”

A blue graphic with white text reading, “According to the National Cancer Institute, about 313,000 cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed a year in the U.S. That’s about 15 percent of new cancer cases a year nationally.”

A blue graphic with white text reading, “Anyone with a prostate is at some risk for prostate cancer. Most patients are over 40 when diagnosed.”

A blue graphic with white text reading, "Many people don’t realize that a family history of breast cancer may also put them at risk for prostate cancer. Mutations in BRCA, commonly associated with breast cancer, also increase the risk of aggressive prostate cancer."

Phil and Penny Knight announced today a record-breaking $2 billion gift to the Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute to transform the future of cancer care and set a new standard globally. Thank you to Phil and Penny Knight for their incredible generosity. #GiveCancerHell

The top text reads:

Cancer is the biggest fight in the history of the world. We will win.
It will be hard. We're built for it.
We care. Every breath. Of every second. Of every day.
Great things come from the most unexpected places.
Look around. We're surrounded by heroes.
This is not a job. This is our life.
Cancer does not discriminate. Neither will we.
Bold moves only.
Cancer doesn't see us coming. We will outlast, and we will outwit it.
This fight is and always will be personal.
"GIVE CANCER HELL." in bold at the bottom.
