Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world, killing more people than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. Each year, 12 million people receive a cancer diagnosis and 7.6 million people die of cancer. If no action is taken, the worldwide cancer burden is projected to reach 26 million new diagnoses in the year 2030 and 17 million deaths, with the most rapid increases occurring in low- and middle-income countries.
’Cancer can be prevented too’ is a global campaign being launched in the lead up to World Cancer Day on 4 February bythe International Union Against Cancer (UICC), custodians of the World Cancer Declaration, to increase public awareness on the prevention of cancer and how a number of simple steps can significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer later in life.
