Today is World Cancer Day—a moment to stand with those affected by cancer, honor survivors, remember loved ones, and recognize the importance of prevention and early detection. Cancer touches millions of lives around the world, but knowledge, screening, and timely care continue to make a meaningful difference.
•Cancer causes nearly 10 million deaths worldwide each year
•1 in 5 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime
•Up to one-third of cancer cases are preventable through lifestyle choices and early intervention
Today reminds us that progress happens through awareness, research, compassion, and action—and that every step toward prevention and care matters.
