February 04 is set apart as World Cancer Day to raise awareness about cancer and to encourage people to adopt preventive measures, early detection and treatment. It was founded by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). Its primary goal is to reduce illness and death caused by cancer by 2020. We hope that, alongside our missile technology and scientific progress, we shall also find means and measures to arrest this dangerous threat to humanity. Poor and economically vulnerable people affected by cancer should be supported by the State to have appropriate treatment for cancer.
