News: World Cancer Day 2013 (04 February)

World Cancer Day for 2013 took place on Monday 04 February 2013.

World Cancer Day, which happens on the same date every year, is the occassion to unite the world in the fight against the disease through raising awareness, educating the public, and lobbying for change.  It is only by every person, organisation, and government, individually doing their part, that the world will be able to reduce the global cancer burden.

If you have missed it this year (2013), don't worry - get involved in the future and do something for the World Cancer Day - because " Together it is possible!"
