February-4-World Cancer Day
World Cancer Day aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year by raising awareness and education about cancer and urging governments, individuals, and the world to take action. Adherence to World Cancer Day is focused on reducing the impact of cancer around the world, supporting cancer patients and survivors, and promoting a personal, integrated, and governmental action. It is part of the Global Cancer Campaign and is similar to the Paris Charter adopted by the World Cancer Conference on 4 February 2000 in the new year. The document calls for stronger collaboration with researchers, health professionals, patients, governments, industry partners, and the media in the fight against cancer.
