World Cancer Day 2009

World Cancer Day is marked on 4 February to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. It is led by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), a global consortium of more than 280 cancer-fighting organizations in over 90 countries.
The campaign emphasizes that 43% of cancers can be prevented through these healthy behaviors:

• Provide a smoke-free environment for children
  
• Be physically active, eat a balanced, healthy diet, and avoid obesity
  
• Learn about vaccines for virus-related liver and cervical cancers
  
• Avoid over-exposure to the sun
