James Corbett, known as "Father of Modern Boxing," died of #LiverCancer in 1933, at the age of 66.
His loss is a reminder to all of us that liver cancer knows no boundaries & can touch anyone, even world-class athletes!

#LiverCancer doesn’t discriminate, but prevention can make a real difference and save many lives.

As Dr Erika Duffell reminds us, tackling #hepatitis B and C through prevention, testing, and treatment is key to protecting everyone.

After a week full of conversations about mental health, today’s reminder is simple: rest.
Your body & mind heal best when you listen to their need for recharging energies.

Why not pair your rest time with our new patient guide?

Living with a digestive cancer can deeply affect your daily life. Taking just 5–10 minutes to pause, whether through breathing, meditation, prayer, or quiet reflection, can help your body and mind reset.  🧠
