World Cancer Day is an initiative of the Union for International Cancer Control to significantly reduce illness and death caused by cancer. This international event is observed annually on February 4 to raise awareness and encourage the prevention, detection, and treatment of cancer.
The ACS Commission on Cancer (CoC), the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC), and the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) are providing your program with resources you can use in your World Cancer Day marketing and outreach initiatives:
