World Cancer Day is marked on 4 February to raise awareness of the global impact of cancer and increase understanding of prevention, detection, treatment and care.
It serves as a reminder of the pressing need for awareness, education, and action to reduce the impact of cancer worldwide. This year's theme, United by Unique, emphasises the individuality of each person's cancer experience while stressing the unity of people around the world in the fight against this disease.
