Did you know that a third of the most prevalent cancers can be prevented through simple, healthy lifestyle choices? According to the World Health Organization (WHO), embracing specific changes in your daily routine and adopting evidence-based prevention strategies can help steer clear of approximately 30% to 50% of cancer-related deaths.

The 2023 World Cancer Day continues the campaign to “Close the care gap”. This year the focus is on uniting our voices and joining forces to work together to achieve our goals and celebrate the big and small accomplishments in cancer care and research.

On February 4th, the world comes together to raise awareness for cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection and treatment. The theme of the global initiative is #IAmAndIWill — whoever you are, wherever in the world, your actions can make a lasting impact.
