Cervical cancer is preventable and treatable: it is time to eliminate it

World Cancer Day, organized by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and celebrated each year on 4 February, is an opportunity to rally the international community to end the injustice of preventable suffering from cancer.

This year’s theme, “I can, we can” acknowledges that

 everyone has the capacity to address the cancer burden. 

We can work together to reduce cancer risk factors. 

We can overcome barriers to early diagnosis, treatment and 

palliative care. 

We can work together to improve cancer control and achieve

global targets to reduce premature mortality from cancer and 

NCDs
