CDC(@CDCgov):Not every health threat is easy to spot. Screening tests can prevent some cancers or catch them early, often before symptoms appear and when treatment is more likely to work best. Talk with your doctor about which screenings are right for you and when to get them. Another threat that's easy to miss: too much UV exposure from the sun, which can lead to skin cancer. Simple options like shade, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, protective clothing, and broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher can help lower your risk. #SharkWeek #ChronicDisease #CatchCancerEarly #CancerScreening #CancerPrevention
