Cancer Awareness Day, World Cancer day 2021, February 4, 2021
World Cancer day is an international day, marked on February 4, 2021, to encourage prevention, detection and treatment of cancer as cancer awareness day.
The primary goal of cancer awareness day is raise awareness and to target misinformation of cancer.
Most People's first thought is cancer, when they notice a new lump, while cyst and tumors are two common types of lumps. It can be hard to tell them apart without diagnosis. Both cysts and tumors can appear in your skin, tissues, organs and bones.

A cyst is small sac filled with air, fluid and other material, while tumor refers to any unusual growth of extra tissue.
Depending on the types of cells in a tumor it can be Benign and Malignant Tumors. Benign tumor does not contain cancerous cells and they won't invade surrounding of tissues or spread elsewhere.
Malignant tumors are cancerous and cancer is a group of disease involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Normally our body constantly produce new cells to replace old ones. Sometimes DNA gets damaged in the process, so new cells develop abnormally. Instead of dying off they continue to multiply faster than the immune system can handle, forming a malignant tumor.
The 'World Cancer day 2021' theme is "I am and I Will".
The Ribbon is a symbol of awareness and support. A lavender ribbon is usually a sign of support for those living with all types of cancer. Pink ribbons are synonymous with Breast Cancer Awareness particularly in October.
Certain types of cancer can be diagnosed initially by visual inspection, though a biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Biopsy is the only way to confirm the presence of cancer.
Cancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy and targeted therapy.
Cancer do not routinely go away and none is suggesting that patients avoid treatment because of such occasional occurrences. Cancer is not a fungus. It is the uncontrolled division of abnormal human cells within the body.
Regular exercise, healthy diet, adequate sleep, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, regular checkups can reduce the risk of developing cancer.
World Cancer day has grown into a positive movement for everyone, everywhere to unite under one voice to face one of greatest challenges in history as cancer awareness day.
Happy World Cancer Awareness Day.....
