UICC's World Cancer Day

World Cancer Day, organized by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), takes place annually on February 4th. It aims to raise awareness about cancer and encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. The day unites individuals, organizations, and governments worldwide to highlight the global impact of cancer and promote actions to reduce its burden. Each year, a specific theme focuses on various aspects of cancer care, fostering education and advocacy efforts. By coming together, participants aim to inspire change, support patients, and improve access to effective cancer control measures worldwide.
