There will be a Global Public Movement around World Cancer Day in order to raise awareness concerning what cancer in fact involves when it comes to trouble.
World Cancer Day is on 4th February. This activity will enlighten people on how to prevent, detect, and treat cancer. World Cancer Day brings all people, communities, and organizations globally together under one voice against the challenges that cancer has been presenting to the world. Events, campaigns, and activities are undertaken around the world to educate the public and raise awareness for support of cancer patients and families.
Theme: World Cancer Day 2025
World Cancer Day undertakes a unique theme each year. It mainly emphasizes the varying aspects of care related to cancer. The theme for World Cancer Day 2025-2027 is ‘United by Unique.’ This happens around the context of individualism and tailored treatment for each special need of an individual.
Cancer prevention: How to reduce your risk
The World Health Organisation said between 30 and 50% of cancers can be prevented by eliminating risk factors and adopting existing evidence-based prevention practices. Here are some lifestyle changes that might help lower the risk:
- Quit smoking
Tobacco smoking is one of the most common causes of cancer. Quit smoking and avoid exposures of passive smoking if you smoke.
- Healthy diet
You should properly take care of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins with high calorie in your diet. Be alert not to use much of the processed foods, red meat, and sweet drinks. Healthy diets will keep you at a healthy weight and allow you to maintain control over other risk factors.
- Regular check-up
Early detection is the best defense against cancer. Screening, followed by subsequent tests, can lead to the early identification of cancer and its eventual prevention from spreading.
- Vaccination
Vaccinations will keep some types of cancers away. For example, the HPV vaccine reduces risk factors associated with cervical and other sorts of cancers. The Hepatitis B vaccine prevents liver cancer.
- Healthy BMI and Exercise
There is a well-recognized risk of obesity for numerous cancers. Other than regular physical activity, diet also plays a crucial role for maintaining an optimal weight.
This World Cancer Day reminds us all to continue doing efforts toward lowering the global cancer burden.
