World Cancer Day was born on the 4 February 2000 at the World Summit Against Cancer for the New Millennium in Paris. The Paris Charter aims to promote research, prevent cancer, improve patient services, raise awareness and mobilise the global community to make progress against cancer, and includes the adoption of World Cancer Day.
More than one third of cancer cases can be prevented and another third can be cured if detected early and treated properly.By implementing resource-appropriate strategies on prevention, early detection and treatment, we can save millions of lives every year.
Today, we know more about cancer than ever before. Through investing in research and innovation, we have witnessed extraordinary breakthroughs in medicine, diagnostics, and scientific knowledge.
The more we know, the more progress we can make in reducing risk factors, increasing prevention and improving cancer diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and care.
That’s why it’s important now more than ever to raise awareness, understanding, and start a conversation. #cancer #worldcancerday #startaconversation #cancerawareness #closethecaregap
