‘We can. I can.’ is the theme tagline for the 2016 World Cancer Day.
World Cancer Day is part of the World Cancer Campaign, adopted following the World Summit Against Cancer for the New Millennium. This summit took place on 4 February 2000, and subsequently the first ever World Cancer Day was penciled in for 4 February 2006. That tradition has continued every year, and the custom does not stop in 2016.
By sharing their experiences, people living with cancer can play an important role in increasing knowledge about cancer prevention and the importance
of early detection. Importantly, they can also reduce fear around the challenges of returning to everyday life after cancer.
We kindly encourage you to share your story and experience with us either as an individual (patient, carer, family member, friend, doctor, nurse, etc.) or as a group (cancer society, research centre, hospital, company, patient support group, etc.) so we can feature it in this section on worldcancerday.org via the link http://www.worldcancerday.org/stories
