February 4, 2007 is World Cancer Day and More
On February 4, 2007 (World Cancer Day), The International Union Against Cancer (UICC) and member organizations in 86 countries are launching a five-year World Cancer Campaign.
The World Cancer Campaign — “Today’s Children, Tomorrow’s World” has four key messages:
- Provide a smoke-free environment for children
- Be physically active, eat a healthy diet, and avoid obesity
- Learn about vaccines for virus-related liver and cervical cancers
- Avoid over-exposure to the sun
The campaign is targeting parents, health-care professionals and policymakers, and presents a common theme: fostering healthy habits during childhood can help prevent cancer later in life.
