February 4 is World Cancer Day

World Cancer Day is an international awareness day celebrated annually on February 4. It was proclaimed by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). The goal of WCD is to increase awareness of cancer as one of the scariest diseases of the modern civilization and draw attention to preventing, diagnosing and treating this disease.

World Cancer Day brings the public’s attention to the tasks faced by the world in the fight against cancer and urges politicians and UICC member organizations to treat cancer as a priority problem.

It is well documented that cancers can be prevented by following healthy lifestyle rules:

   Creation of a smoke-free environment and denormalization of tobacco use;

   Adequate physical activities and a balanced healthy diet;

   Timely vaccination against viruses that cause liver and cervical cancer;

   Using protection against sun rays.
