Each year on February 4th, World Cancer Day serves to unite the global community in the shared fight against cancer. This international initiative aims to significantly reduce illness and death caused by cancer worldwide by raising awareness of both prevention and cure so that the disease can be prevented, detected, diagnosed, treated and overcome in even more people across the planet. Today is a chance to better educate people about cancer risks and outcomes as well as ways that each person can help support progress in cancer research, advocacy, and patient care. By fostering greater public understanding and promoting collaborative efforts to improve cancer care for all, World Cancer Day plays a vital role in the global mission to defeat cancer.
