world_cancer_day.bmpOn 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.
