Today is #PrevivorDay— a day that’s the heart of our mission at CancerIQ
For those who may not be familiar, Previvor Day is a celebration of those individuals who, armed with genetic insights and empowered by preventive actions, have been able to avoid a cancer diagnosis that once seemed all but certain. It’s a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we focus on using all the tools at our fingertips to help intercept cancer.
At CancerIQ, we are driven by the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to be a previvor – whether because of a genetic predisposition to cancer, a lifestyle choice that can be managed now, a barrier to adherence we can make less intimidating, or a family history we haven’t quite cracked the DNA code for yet.
Our work is about more than just technology—it’s about scaling what we know works to help patients understand their risks and make proactive choices that can change their lives. It’s about equipping healthcare providers with the tools they need to make risk-based care an accessible reality for all of their patients, ultimately reducing the burden of hereditary cancer on countless families.
To me, Previvor Day is incredibly personal and profoundly inspiring because of the strength of those who face a genetic risk with courage, the healthcare providers who support them, and the families whose futures are rewritten thanks to these life-changing interventions.
Today, I want to honor the resilience of the previvors who chose prevention over fear and the tireless dedication of the healthcare professionals who make that possible. This day is a testament to why our work matters: it’s not just about treating cancer, it’s about making sure that fewer people have to face it in the first place.
Here’s to the power of prevention, to all the previvors out there, and to continuing our mission of creating a future where cancer is not inevitable, but preventable and detectable when we can get ahead of it!
