抗击结直肠癌和梅奥诊所启动#StrongArmSelfie运动以提高结直肠癌意识

打出 "强心针"，发帖提高对第二大癌症杀手的认识

弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市 - 2015年2月23日 - 为了提高人们的认识，鼓励筛查和团结超过一百万的疾病幸存者，抗击结直肠癌和梅奥诊所创建了#StrongArmSelfie社交媒体运动。该活动要求个人在社交媒体上公开发布一张自己弯曲 "强壮手臂 "的照片，从而提高人们的认识和资金。每张贴一张带有#StrongArmSelfie标签的照片，拜耳医药保健公司将为抗击结直肠癌捐赠$1。

ǞǞǞ #StrongArmSelfie page houses the photos feeding from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Google+ and Flickr. It also offers links to content from Mayo Clinic with information on the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer, a video from Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist Paul Limburg, M.D., M.P.H., on screening options and resources available to patients.

“Nearly 50,000 people die from colorectal cancers each year, but it’s actually quite preventable,” said Dr. Limburg. “We’re pleased to participate in this campaign with Fight Colorectal Cancer and encourage screening and prevention. Colon cancer screening is highly effective and there are many options. We want everyone to know that the best screening test is simply the one that gets done.”

“We are so energized by this project with Mayo Clinic for March - Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month,” said Anjee Davis, president of Fight CRC. “We feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to join forces via social media. We know that together we’ll be able to reach patients and their families with an extraordinarily important message about strength and prevention of colorectal cancer.”
