Our 5-year survival rates for breast, colorectal, and lung cancers are higher than national averages. What’s more, there are no differences among racial and ethnic groups in how we screen for or deliver treatment for these cancers: https://k-p.li/48kAkFA #CancerSurvivorsMonth

There has been a steady upward trend of non-smoking Asian women getting diagnosed with lung cancer at late stages, because this population are not included in the current lung cancer screening guidelines. API@KP BRG would love to collaborate and get KP support on this advocacy work, share our physician research findings, and bring awareness both internally and externally.

With our smoking rates lower than anyone in the nation, that directly correlates to reduced colon & lung cancer ! # tobaccofree #gokp

Congrats but still consider pushing up the age back for starting colonoscopies. 45 is too late. The average age for colon cancer is getting younger and younger. Additionally, when there used to be a family history, the recommended age for screening is 40 yet its hard to get a screening at that age.

I'm now a 15 yr survivor of lung cancer. Non-smoker! Fortunately caught in early stage. More women die of lung cancer annually than breast and ovarian cancer combined! Tragically, non-smoking women represent 20% of lung cancers.  Look at studies showing potential relationships to hx of HPV, second hand smoke, radon, among others.  Current low dose scan at age 50 is only for those who smoked within last 15 yrs.

KP cancer outcomes are a result of expert care and high-reliability systems that ensure our patients receive cutting edge care. KP members also have a 20% lower rate of premature mortality from cancer than people living in the communities we serve!

That's great, love it!
