Who started world cancer day?

Answer 1

World Cancer Day is marked on 4 February to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. It is led by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC)[1], a global consortium of more than 280 cancer-fighting organizations in over 90 countries. World Cancer Day targets the public through global communications marking, and encourages policy makers and UICC member organizations to make cancer a political priority. The campaign emphasizes that 43% of cancers can be prevented through these healthy behaviors: * Provide a smoke-free environment for children * Be physically active, eat a balanced, healthy diet, and avoid obesity * Learn about vaccines for virus-related liver and cervical cancers * Avoid over-exposure to the sun
