Unpacking the Connection: Teen Smartphone Use and Potential Cancer Risks
Teens are among the heaviest users of cellphones. Studies and surveys consistently show that teenagers frequently use their smartphones for various activities, including social media, texting, gaming, and streaming content. Some research suggests that radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted from cellphones, mobile base stations, and other popular wireless technologies could potentially influence colorectal cancer risk through epigenetic mechanisms, specifically by altering gene methylation patterns. While the study conducted by Mokarram et al. was performed on animal models, it raises important questions about the long-term effects of RF exposure in humans and its potential role in cancer development.

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is easily preventable with adequate screening.
A colonoscopy, the gold standard for screening, catches pre-cancerous
polyps and allows them to be removed. #ColorectalCancer#PrioritizeCRC#SayNoToPrepHesitancy

🚫 Breast Cancer Myth: Finding a lump means you have breast cancer.
💡 Fact: Not all lumps are cancerous! In fact, 80% of breast lumps are benign (non-cancerous) and could be caused by cysts, fibrous tissue, or other conditions.
However, it’s always important to get any lump checked by your doctor. Early detection is key, and regular self-breast exams can help you stay on top of your breast health.
Don’t panic—stay informed and take action.
