The opinions expressed in this commentary are those of the author. Read more opinion on CNN. (CNN) Over the last year, people have made so many sacrifices to protect their health, from taking care of kids amid school closures to staying isolated from our elderly loved ones. Concerns about family health have driven many of us to great lengths to ensure we stay safe during this public health crisis. We turned fear into action and that is worth applauding. The question is, can we take that pandemic mindset and apply it to other grave risks to our health? Kathy Giusti One of the most pernicious of all such threats is cancer. Around one in three Americans will get cancer in their lifetime. We tend to think about cancer as something directed by fate or another force we cannot control. But the truth is that we can all take steps to get ahead of a potential cancer diagnosis. By doing so, we can improve prognoses and change the trajectory of this devastating disease. As a 25-year cancer survivor, I know what it means to face that terrifying diagnosis. I also know a thing or two about what it takes to beat it. Here are three tips to keep in mind as you join in the fight: Know your risk Read More Not long after the novel coronavirus arrived, we learned that age was a potent risk factor for the disease, and we shaped our actions around that information.
