World Cancer Day on 4 February is an opportunity for everyone to learn more about cancer, and help others with the disease.
This year’s theme is ‘I Am And I Will’, encouraging everybody to make a personal commitment. Individuals can change the future of cancer.
Here are some of the things you can do in 2019:
- Reduce your cancer risk – everyone can make everyday lifestyle choices to reduce the risk of cancer.
- Learn more about cancer – it can help you cope with a diagnosis, or help a colleague, friend or family member.
- Screen for cancer – some cancers can be prevented, or detected at an early stage through free screening programs.
Learn more – everybody can make a difference this World Cancer Day and beyond.
