HEALTH CHANNEL:
This October, the Health Channel is dedicated to raising awareness and providing valuable insights into breast cancer, one of the most common cancers affecting women today. While heredity and family history are known factors, recent research is shedding light on another significant culprit: estrogen. Estrogen has long been understood to fuel the growth of breast cancer, but emerging studies suggest it may have a more profound impact than previously realized.
As part of this effort, the Health Channel will host a special Breakthroughs in Breast Cancer Town Hall on October 28th at 7 PM on AllHealthGo's Facebook and YouTube pages. Experts will dive into the latest research and explore the most effective strategies for preventing and treating breast cancer.
Additionally, on October 18th, we will be hosting an Instagram Live session featuring Dr. Joseph Panoff, a radiation oncologist at Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute. Dr. Panoff will provide insights into innovative radiation treatments currently available to breast cancer patients.
