World Cancer Day - 4 February

World Cancer Day is an international day acknowledged every February 4th to raise public awareness and understanding of the disease, which is the second greatest cause of death globally. We highlight the importance of early detection of this deadly illness on this day. Regular screening, early diagnosis, and treatment could prevent about one-third of all cancer-related fatalities.

Raising public awareness of the value of early detection of colorectal, breast, and cervical cancers as well as creating guidelines for the implementation of screening for stomach, prostate, and lung cancers are among the objectives of the EUCanScreen initiative. By working together, we can decrease the social impact caused by cancer. Our biggest asset is our health, therefore look after yourself and your loved ones!
