World Cancer Day 2016 (Thursday, February 4th). 2016 Theme: ‘We can. I can' supported by Ronald Tintin, Super Professeur, Lyna Hussein and Ronning Against

Hi dearest readers and followers ;)

Save the date by Ronald Tintin, Super Professeur, Lyna Hussein and Ronning Against Cancer on Thursday, February 4^th 2016 :

Each year on 4 February, WHO and International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) supports Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) to promote ways to ease the global burden of cancer. 

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells. It can affect almost any part of the body. The growths often invade surrounding tissue and can metastasize to distant sites.

Many cancers can be prevented by avoiding exposure to common risk factors, such as tobacco smoke. In addition, a significant proportion of cancers can be cured, by surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, especially if they are detected early.

Taking place under the tagline ‘We can. I can.’, World Cancer Day 2016-2018 will explore how everyone – as a collective or as individuals – can do their part to reduce the global burden of cancer.
