Today is World Cancer Day. Every February 4 is observed as World Cancer Day. This initiative was taken and led by the Union for International Cancer Control, a Geneva-based NGO that unites and supports the cancer community across the world. This day aims to spread awareness and reduce the consequences of this life-threatening disease.

Cancer is a leading cause of death globally. 

This year, World Cancer Day's theme is “United by Unique”. This theme promotes the individuality of each cancer journey while uniting us in the fight to raise awareness, support research, and inspire hope. 

We need to understand and find the lack of cancer care. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, we need to care about him. Our support and effort can greatly help a cancer patient fight against cancer mentally and physically. Together we can hope for a better world without cancer. 
But the bitter truth is that we are still lagging in cancer care due to some barriers.

• Income
• Lack of proper education
• Location
• Discrimination based on age, gender, ethnicity
• Social support
• Insurance concern
• Communication problems with healthcare personnel
