On February 4, the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) and its more than 300 member organizations, including the American Cancer Society, with support from the World Health Organization, raise awareness of cancer prevention on World Cancer Day 2010. This day marks the launch of a new UICC cancer campaign, Cancer can be prevented too, and the release of a new UICC report, Protection Against Cancer-causing Infections. The new campaign and report highlight the good news that about 40 percent of all cancers are preventable. The report identifies cancers that can be caused by infectious agents, such as viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens, and how these cancers can be prevented through vaccines and the adoption of simple protective or avoidance strategies. In a joint statement (see link below), the American Cancer Society, GAVI Alliance, and LIVESTRONG® support global access to vaccines called for in the new UICC report.
Each year, 12 million people receive a cancer diagnosis and 7.6 million people die of cancer worldwide. If no action is taken, the cancer burden will increase significantly, with the most rapid increases occurring in low- and middle-income countries. On World Cancer Day 2010, the American Cancer Society and other cancer control organizations focus on how the risk of developing cancer can be reduced through simple measures, such as stopping tobacco use, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
