TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH


It could save your life

If found early, cancer is treatable-even curable. Almost nine million Americans are living with a past history of cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Asian/Pacific Islander males. If found early, the survival rate for this cancer is 100 percent.

Only 45 percent of all Asian/Pacific Islander women report ever receiving a mammogram. If breast cancer is found before it spreads, the survival rate is 97 percent.

Cervical cancer has a higher death rate in Hmong women because it is not diagnosed soon enough. If found early, it is 92% curable.

Some of the most common cancers diagnosed in Hmong people are:

  1. Stomach
  2. Liver
  3. Pancreas
  4. Leukemia
  5. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

You can lower your risk of getting cancer by:

  1. Getting tested regularly.
  2. Eating a well-balanced diet.
  3. Adopting a physically active lifestyle.
