May is National Cancer Research Month — and we think that's worth celebrating.

Behind every treatment option, every survival statistic, and every patient who hears "you're in remission" is decades of dedicated research.

Cancer research has transformed what a diagnosis means. Survival rates for many cancers have improved dramatically over the past 50 years — and that progress didn't happen by accident.

This month, we're grateful for:
• The scientists and researchers working tirelessly on new discoveries
• The clinical trial participants who make breakthroughs possible
• The organizations funding the work that changes lives

At Jackson Oncology, we believe in the power of research — and we're proud to be part of a field that never stops pushing forward.

Here's to the progress made, and the progress still to come.

May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month.

Brain tumors affect people of all ages — and for patients and families navigating a diagnosis, the road can feel overwhelming and isolating.

This month, we want to shine a light on:
- The ongoing research bringing new treatments closer to reality
- The communities and caregivers showing up every day
- The importance of knowing the symptoms: persistent headaches, vision or speech changes, memory issues, seizures, or unexplained personality shifts

If you or someone you love is experiencing neurological symptoms that are new or worsening, please don't wait to seek care.

At Jackson Oncology, we honor the strength of every brain cancer patient and their loved ones. You are not alone.

May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month.

Bladder cancer is the 10th most common cancer worldwide — yet it doesn't always get the attention it deserves.

One of the most important things to know: blood in the urine is the most common early warning sign, and it's one that's easy to dismiss or explain away. Don't.

Other symptoms to watch for:
• Frequent or urgent urination
• Pain or burning during urination
• Pelvic pain

If something doesn't feel right, talk to your doctor. Early detection makes a difference.

Jackson Oncology stands with everyone affected by bladder cancer this month and every month.

May is Melanoma & Skin Cancer Awareness Month — and with summer just around the corner, there's no better time to talk sun safety.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, but it's also one of the most preventable.

Here's what you can do starting today:
- Wear SPF 30+ sunscreen — even on cloudy days
- Cover up with hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing
- Skip the tanning beds
- Check your skin regularly for new or changing moles or spots

If something looks different, get it checked. Caught early, melanoma is highly treatable.

At Jackson Oncology, we're committed to helping our community stay informed and protected.

May is a powerful month for the cancer community.

This month, we recognize four important cancer awareness campaigns — each a reminder of why education, early detection, and research matter so much:

Melanoma & Skin Cancer Awareness Month
As the sun gets stronger, so does our commitment to skin safety. Protect your skin, know your body, and get checked.

Bladder Cancer Awareness Month
Bladder cancer is more common than many realize. Knowing the warning signs can make all the difference.

Brain Cancer Awareness Month
For patients and families facing brain tumors, awareness and community support mean everything. You are seen and you are not alone.

National Cancer Research Month
Every breakthrough starts with research. This month, we celebrate the scientists and participants.

April is Cancer Prevention & Early Detection Month, and it's personal for all of us.

Whether you've been touched by cancer yourself, or you're caring for someone who has, you know how much early detection matters.

A routine screening. A conversation with your doctor. Noticing something that doesn't feel right and following up.

These moments can change everything.

This month, we're encouraging our community to take one small step toward their health; schedule that appointment, make that call, or share this post with someone who needs the reminder.

You are worth the time it takes to take care of yourself.

At Jackson Oncology, we're here every step of the way.

April is Cancer Prevention & Early Detection Month

At Jackson Oncology, we believe one of the most powerful tools in the fight against cancer is early detection.

Many cancers can be prevented or found early through routine screenings, healthy lifestyle choices, and paying attention to changes in your body.

✔ Stay up to date on recommended screenings
✔ Don’t ignore unusual symptoms
✔ Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk

Screenings can detect cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment is often more effective and outcomes are better.

This month is a reminder:
Taking small steps today can make a life-changing difference tomorrow.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., but it’s also one of the most preventable cancers with regular screening.

Screening can detect cancer early, when it’s most treatable, and can even prevent cancer by identifying and removing precancerous polyps.

Who should be screened?
• Adults starting at age 45
• Individuals with a family history of colorectal cancer
• Those experiencing symptoms like:
- Persistent abdominal pain
- Changes in bowel habits
- Blood in stool
- Unexplained weight loss

Many people avoid screening because they feel fine, but colon cancer often develops without symptoms in its early stages.

Taking a simple step today could save your life.

Talk with your healthcare provider about your screening options.
