World Cancer Day HistoryWorld Cancer Day serves as an international platform to unite voices globally in the common effort to fight against cancer. Intended to raise collective awareness and create actionable change, it tackles pressing issues, fosters education, and promotes the implementation of preventive measures. Central to this observance is the promotion of research for innovational cancer treatment, early detection, and overall improved patient support services. World Cancer Day was established in 2000 at the World Summit Against Cancer held in Paris, aiming to raise significant global impact by pressing governments and individuals to take action. In Australia, World Cancer Day is highly significant. As per the Cancer Council Australia report, an estimated 150,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in Australia this year, with the number increasing each year. The day engages various sectors such as governments, non-profit organisations, academic institutions and the general public to undertake relevant initiatives that help in cancer prevention and treatment in the country. On the commemoration of World Cancer Day in Australia, numerous events are conducted both physically and online. Activities range from fundraising events, awareness campaigns, educational lectures to health check-up camps. Key landmarks are illuminated in the World Cancer Day colours of orange and blue as a symbol of unity and commitment towards the cause. World Cancer Day is observed each year on the 4th of February.
