What if we could stop cancer before it starts—by targeting those most at risk? A new approach called precision prevention could make that possible. Learn how it works, the challenges ahead, and why researchers are excited about its potential.
The hepatitis B vaccine given at birth isn’t just a shot — it’s lifelong protection against infection and liver cancer. Weakening that safeguard risks undoing decades of progress. Prevention matters. Read more in our latest blog ⬇️
We're discussing Nevada data, not national data. Also, whether it's a small or a large increase, the bottom line is that teens shouldn't have access to vapes and companies shouldn't be allowed to develop vape products that target/appeal to youth. & you're a vape advocate, so of course you're biased.
Easy access to vapes, social media and peer pressure, a slow-to-act FDA, permissive state policies and no prevention funding have led to more and more youth in Nevada taking up vaping. 👎

If you're LGBTQ+ and you rely on Medicaid for your health care, I'd like to talk with you! I'm grateful for the conversations I've had so far.
I'm writing about how LGBTQ+ Americans are among those who will be disproportionately impacted by the passage of the "Big Beautiful Bill."
It's fiscal new year for Nevada and NCC, usually a time for a fresh start to our work. It's been a stressful time this year, and for some in other states a time for furloughs. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

We can't say enough about the importance of palliative care as an early and consistent aspect of cancer care. This is a great chance to learn more.
With Nevada's legislative session well underway, here's a look at some of the bills we're following.
The cost of 'beauty' is much higher for Black women, as this post affirms. Despite this, products with carcinogenic ingredients continue to be marketed and sold to unsuspecting consumers who are disproportionately affected by cancer.
The GOP is proposing big cuts to Medicaid, but what exactly does the program cover, and whom? kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
Well, the BRFSS data tool is offline. This is data that has already been collected on things like percentage of people screened for colorectal cancer or getting exercise every day. Lack of access to data limits our ability to evaluate our progress and plan for the future. #cdc #brfss
