"The National Football League Alumni Association (NFL Alumni) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Cancer Prevention and Control have expanded the "GEAR UP Against Cancer" campaign to Dallas and several other markets across the country. The initiative aims to increase public awareness of lung cancer's impact, emphasize the importance of regular screenings for adults at high risk for developing lung cancer, and create a deeper understanding of the unique needs of cancer survivors."
"Lung cancer is often discovered only after it has spread to other parts of the body and when survival is at its lowest, according to the CDC, which is why annual screenings are recommended for high-risk populations to help identify lung cancer in its early stages when treatment works best. Statistics also show that men have higher rates of lung cancer diagnosis and death than women, and that cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor."
GEAR UP Against Cancer expanded into Dallas and several other markets to increase public awareness of lung cancer's impact, emphasize regular screenings for adults at high risk, and deepen understanding of cancer survivors' unique needs. Annual screenings are recommended for high-risk populations because lung cancer is often discovered after it spreads and survival rates are lowest at that stage. Men experience higher rates of lung cancer diagnosis and death than women, and cigarette smoking remains the primary risk factor. The campaign highlights prevention through avoiding or quitting smoking, encourages screening for eligible adults, and promotes ongoing health monitoring for survivors.
