FEBRUARY: National Cancer Prevention Month

By Staff Reporters

***

***

February is National Cancer Prevention Month. While life can become unpredictable with challenges and setbacks like a cancer diagnosis, there are many things you can do today to reduce your risk of developing this illness. So, the experts at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center recommend the following

LIFESTYLE HABITS

  • Eat healthy: Eating well-balanced meals that include fruits and vegetables, whole grain foods, low or non-fat dairy products, and limited red or processed meats can all help reduce cancer risks.
  • Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week. Physical activity lowers stress hormones, improves the immune system, and is associated with living a long, healthy life. Regular participation in physical activity has been linked to a decreased risk of colon, breast, lung, and endometrial cancer.
  • Maintain a healthy weight: Try to achieve and maintain a healthy weight throughout your life.
  • Avoid tobacco: Don’t smoke or use smokeless tobacco.
  • Limit alcohol: Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all.

RIP: Dr. Kelly Powers MS [Fox News Medical Contributor]

BREAKING NEWS!

“Rest-in-Peace”

Dr. Kelly Powers, a podiatric surgeon and Fox News medical contributor, died Sunday from a remission of brain cancer. She was 45. A a regular commentator on Fox News and Fox Business Network, Powers survived heart failure—symptoms of which she experienced on air while covering that very topic. “It’s crazy–I went into heart failure while doing a report on Fox Business–live–on heart health and talking about the subtle signs that women often miss.

You can’t make this up,” she told Preferred Health Magazine after she had also faced a bout with glioblastoma, which was detected in 2020. After several surgeries, Powers underwent chemotherapy and radiation, and eventually recovered. During that time, she became pregnant and had her now three-year-old son. That cancer returned this year, however. “She was a brave and beautiful soul who could make friends anywhere she went,” an obituary reads. “Kelly had a love for people and she was dedicated to helping others.”

Powers leaves behind her husband, Steven Doll, and son Bennett.

Despite increases in private equity acquisition of oncology practices, little is known about the effect on market competition, prices, and quality.

CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/0826102549

This research team will examine the changes in health care quality and prices following private equity acquisition of oncology practices and explore whether these acquisitions exacerbate health disparities among racial groups. This work may be relevant to policymakers and antitrust regulators assessing private equity deals.
