❓DID YOU KNOW: Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide claiming nearly 10 million lives in 2020 or nearly one in six deaths.
World Cancer Day is observed every February 4 of each year to help raise awareness about cancer, promote prevention, and encourage early detection, around the world.
This year’s campaign theme is “United by Unique,” showing that every cancer journey is different and that no two stories are the same. Despite this, we have a shared goal which is to reduce the burden of cancer.
Join us in this month’s YEARNSPIRE where we took the opportunity to listen to UPCN students as they share their insights on cancer awareness, world cancer day’s importance, and the vital role of nurses in cancer care. 🩺
