Cancer
World Cancer Day aims to reduce the global burden of cancer through collective and individual action. Collectively, we can prevent cancer by avoiding risks, creating healthy environments in schools, workplaces and cities, supporting cancer survivors to return to work, improving access to care, and shaping policies. Individually, we can make healthy choices, seek early detection, ask for support, take control of our cancer journey, and advocate for others. The goal is to educate about effective interventions and change perceptions so that all people have access to high quality cancer treatment and support.
