2010 Campaign: "Cancer can be prevented too"
World Cancer Day 2010, led by UICC, its members and with the
support of the World Health Organization (WHO), will
raise awareness of cancer prevention.
Each year, over 12 million people receive a cancer diagnosis and
7.6 million die of the disease.
The good news is that approximately 40% of cancers are
potentially preventable. We invite you to join us in marking
World Cancer Day on 4 February by promoting our exciting new
campaign and spreading the message that cancer can be
prevented too.
This coming February, UICC will launch the campaign “Cancer can
be prevented too”, focussing on how the risk of developing
cancer can significantly be reduced through simple measures:
-
Stop tobacco use and avoid exposure to second-hand smoke
-
Limit alcohol consumption
-
Avoid excessive sun exposure
-
Maintain a healthy weight, through eating healthily and
exercising regularly
-
Protect against cancer-causing infections
