The Importance of Health Screenings with Dr. Matthew Murray | WLOX 3/10/22

Singing River Medical Clinic's Dr. Matthew Murray provides a refreshing take on the importance of regular check-ups, screenings, and knowing your family history.
1 in 3 Americans will get cancer in their lifetime. Yet, nearly 1 in 3 people who are recommended for screening are not up-to-date on their appointments. An estimated 41% of US adults have delayed or avoided medical care because of the pandemic, and 35% missed routine cancer screening due to COVID-19-related fears and service disruptions.
Over the next 10 years, the National Cancer Institute predicts almost 10,000 excess deaths from breast and colorectal cancer alone because of pandemic-related delays in screening and treatment.
