We appreciate the work of our #NSGC22 presenters to incorporate J.E.D.I. issues in their presentations. For more guidance on how to minimize stigma when speaking on these issues, check out this useful style guide from the CDC. bit.ly/3TMcvy9 #GeneChat
One of my favorite parts of attending conferences: reminders of existing tools + learning about new resources! Excited to check out geneticspolicy.nccrcg.org

We are just over half-way through Gynecologic Cancer and Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Still plenty of time to share information with important women in your life.
CDC - What Are the Symptoms of Gynecologic Cancers? cdc.gov/cancer/gynecologic/b…
#gyncsm #womenshealth
ALT A chart lists off eight gynecologic cancer symptoms and which type of cancer they are associated with. Common symptoms of gyn cancers: Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge is common on all gynecologic cancers except vulvar cancer. Feeling full too quickly or difficulty eating, bloating, and abdominal or back pain are common only for ovarian cancer. Pelvic pain or pressure is common for ovarian and uterine cancers. More frequent or urgent need to urinate and/or constipation are common for ovarian and vaginal cancers. Itching, burning, pain, or tenderness of the vulva, and changes in vulva color or skin, such as a rash, sores, or warts, are found only in vulvar cancer.
