It is observed that World Cancer Day 2021 is intended to spread awareness, inspire change and reduce cancer’s global impact. Every year, the day is celebrated on February 4th, and this year marks the final year of the ‘I Am and I Will’ campaign that started in 2019. The goal of celebrating World Cancer Day is to reduce cancer misconceptions and help people get the right information about it. It also offers an opportunity to have an effect on the improvement of the lives of cancer patients and survivors.
The second leading cause of death globally is cancer. Lung, breast, cervical, head and neck, and colorectal cancers are the top cancers affecting the Indian population (CRC). So understanding each type of cancer and how it impacts the body is important. Everyone comes together on World Cancer Day with an agenda to achieve a healthier and brighter world free of cancer.
