4. Overview Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. Other terms used are malignant tumours and neoplasms . One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries , and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs; the latter process is referred to as metastasis. Widespread metastases are the primary cause of death from cancer.

5. Key facts Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 , or nearly one in six deaths. The most common cancers are breast, lung, colon and rectum and prostate cancers. Around one-third of deaths from cancer are due to tobacco use , high body mass index, alcohol consumption, low fruit and vegetable intake, and lack of physical activity. Cancer-causing infections, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis , are responsible for approximately 30% of cancer cases in low- and lower-middle-income countries . Many cancers can be cured if detected early and treated effectively.

6. The problem statement Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 (1). The most common in 2020 (in terms of new cases of cancer) were: breast (2.26 million cases); lung (2.21 million cases); colon and rectum (1.93 million cases); prostate (1.41 million cases); skin (non-melanoma) (1.20 million cases); and stomach (1.09 million cases). The most common causes of cancer death in 2020 were: lung (1.80 million deaths); colon and rectum (916 000 deaths); liver (830 000 deaths); stomach (769 000 deaths); and breast (685 000 deaths). Each year, approximately 400 000 children develop cancer. The most common cancers vary between countries. Cervical cancer is the most common in 23 countries. 

7. Risk factors

8. Causes Cancer arises from the transformation of normal cells into tumour cells in a multi-stage process that generally progresses from a pre-cancerous lesion to a malignant tumour . These changes are the result of the interaction between a person's genetic factors and three categories of external agents, including: physical carcinogens , such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiation; chemical carcinogens , such as asbestos, components of tobacco smoke, alcohol, aflatoxin (a food contaminant), and arsenic (a drinking water contaminant); and biological carcinogens , such as infections from certain viruses, bacteria, or parasites. Source :WHO, through its cancer research agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), maintains a classification of cancer-causing agents.

9. Risk factors Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution are risk factors for cancer and other non-communicable diseases .   Some chronic infections are risk factors for cancer; this is a particular issue in low- and middle-income countries. Approximately 13% of cancers diagnosed in 2018 globally were attributed to carcinogenic infections, including Helicobacter pylori, human papilloma virus (HPV), hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and Epstein-Barr virus (2). Hepatitis B and C viruses and some types of HPV increase the risk for liver and cervical cancer , respectively. Infection with HIV increases the risk of developing cervical cancer six-fold and substantially increases the risk of developing select other cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma.

10. Risk continued to be screening

11. Theme of the year This year's theme marks the second year of the campaign “ close the care gap ” which is about understanding the inequities in cancer care and taking actions to make the necessary progress to address them.

12. NATIONAL CANCER AWARENESS DAY’S HISTORY On November 7th, National Cancer Awareness Day is observed to commemorate the birth anniversary of Nobel Prize-winning scientist Madame Curie. Marie Curie, who was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867, is best known for discovering radium and polonium and making significant contributions to the fight against cancer. Her research resulted in the development of nuclear energy and radiotherapy for cancer treatment.

13. WHY DOES NATIONAL CANCER AWARENESS DAY MATTER ? 1) India has a high death rate Although the incidence of cancer in India is much lower than in developed countries, death rates are higher due to late detection for a variety of reasons. To save lives, it is critical to raise and spread awareness about this deadly disease.

14. 2) Promoting mandatory screenings for women In India, one woman dies from breast cancer for every two newly diagnosed women. 3) Preventing cancer-causing behaviors The goal of National Cancer Awareness Day is to raise awareness about early detection and avoiding cancer-causing lifestyle choices. According to the Lancet report, tobacco use is a risk factor for 14 different types of cancer.

15. Aim of the cancer day 2023 Under World Cancer Day 2023, every year many events are held worldwide with the aim of bringing schools, business markets, parks, community halls, community and organization together and it is expected that according to World Cancer Awareness Day 2023 cancer The person affected is not alone . That means all of us will play a mutually respected role in the responsibility of reducing this global disease.

16. History of World Cancer Day On February 4th, 2000, the World Summit Against Cancer for the New Millennium was held in Paris, marking the beginning of World Cancer Day. The introduction of World Cancer Day is a key component of the Paris Charter, which also seeks to advance cancer research, prevention, patient care, awareness, and worldwide mobilisation .

17. World Cancer Day Theme To bring various issues related to cancer to the society, World Cancer Day 2023 will be celebrated tomorrow i.e. on 4th February this year i.e. the main purpose of celebrating this day is to educate health professionals and common people on a target of reducing cancer globally. Work has to be done by the public. and was first launched in the year 2000 at the World Summit against Cancer of the New Millennium in Paris. Under World Cancer Day Theme, let us tell you that the multi-year theme for this World Cancer Day 2022 and 2024 is “Close the Care Gap”. The main objective of the Jesus theme is to focus more attention on risk engagement and opportunities on a global scale.

19. World Cancer Day 2023 Importance As you and we know, cancer is a condition of the human body in which some cells in the body continue to grow uncontrollably.  And these uncontrolled cells take the form of cancer after some time. In fact, cancer is the single most common cause of death globally. According to World Cancer Day 2023 Importance, the general awareness about cancer screening prevention and treatment is very low when it comes to India and the global population. In fact, literacy rate and low income greatly affect cancer awareness. This time for World Cancer Day 2023 which will be observed globally on 4th February, low and middle income countries will face a unique challenge in addressing the risk of cancer caused by many chronic diseases.  In fact, lack of education, delay in diagnosis and low access to affordable treatment are the most dangerous.

20. Reducing the burden Between 30 and 50% of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding risk factors and implementing existing evidence-based prevention strategies. The cancer burden can also be reduced through early detection of cancer and appropriate treatment and care of patients who develop cancer. Many cancers have a high chance of cure if diagnosed early and treated appropriately. 

21. Prevention of cancer Cancer risk can be reduced by: not using tobacco ; maintaining a healthy body weight ; eating a healthy diet, including fruit and vegetables ; doing physical activity on a regular basis; avoiding or reducing consumption of alcohol; getting vaccinated against HPV and hepatitis B if you belong to a group for which vaccination is recommended; avoiding ultraviolet radiation exposure (which primarily results from exposure to the sun and artificial tanning devices) and/or using sun protection measures; ensuring safe and appropriate use of radiation in health care (for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes); minimizing occupational exposure to ionizing radiation ; and reducing exposure to outdoor air pollution and indoor air pollution , including radon (a radioactive gas produced from the natural decay of uranium, which can accumulate in buildings — homes, schools and workplaces).

22. Prevention of Cancer First of all, for the prevention of Cancer, we have to take less poetic diet under highly processed substances in fruits and vegetables. Apart from this, we have to have minimum consumption of tobacco and alcohol under World Cancer Day 2023 Awareness Day. Along with this, one has to exercise regularly and maintain a healthy w eight. We have to protect ourselves under Prevention of Cancer and also from coming in contact with harmful chemicals in the environment. Be careful about UV rays and wear protective clothing by using a good sunscreen.

24. Follow up care Early detection Early diagnosis Screening Screening aims to identify individuals with findings suggestive of a specific cancer or pre-cancer before they have developed symptoms.  Treatment A correct cancer diagnosis is essential for appropriate and effective treatment because every cancer type requires a specific treatment regimen. Treatment usually includes surgery, radiotherapy, and/or systemic therapy (chemotherapy, hormonal treatments, targeted biological therapies). 

25. Health education activities

26. Continued Palliative care Palliative care is treatment to relieve, rather than cure, symptoms and suffering caused by cancer and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Palliative care can help people live more comfortably. It is particularly needed in places with a high proportion of patients in advanced stages of cancer where there is little chance of cure.

27. Health education

28. Prevention of Cancer Although many forms of cancer are not preventable, some people will still be diagnosed with cancer even if they lead a healthy lifestyle. Cancer risk can be lowered in a number of ways, including:  Consuming a nutritious diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in processed foods and red meat Regular exercise and maintenance of a healthy weight Abstaining from the use of tobacco products  Minimum alcohol consumption Taking precautions against ultraviolet rays include using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing Participating in the recommended cancer screenings on a regular basis Avoiding exposure to harmful chemicals in the environment Vaccination against virus human papillomavirus (HPV) that can cause cancer
