World Cancer Day is observed every year around the globe to increase public understanding of cancer, promote preventive measures, encourage early diagnosis, improve access to treatment, and offer support to patients, survivors, and their families. This Day serves as a reminder that cancer affects millions worldwide and that awareness, education, and timely action can save lives. It highlights the importance of prevention (healthy lifestyle choices), early detection (screening and diagnosis), effective treatment (medical care and therapies), and support systems (emotional, social, and financial support for patients and survivors). The day unites individuals, communities, and governments in the fight against cancer and encourages collective efforts to reduce its impact.
