World Cancer Day – 4 February 2011
Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. WHO estimates that 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015 without intervention.
Each year on 4 February, WHO supports International Union Against Cancer to promote ways to ease the global burden of cancer. Preventing cancer and raising quality of life for cancer patients are recurring themes.
The World Cancer Day theme for 2011 is sun safety and youth. For more information visit the World Cancer Day website.
