Cancer Day goals
The ultimate goal of all activities is to reduce mortality from cancer. An important stage in the fight against cancer is prevention, which is why it is given special importance. Many medical institutions often have decades dedicated to the Day of the fight against cancer, when you can be examined for free to detect a malignant tumor at an early stage and begin timely treatment. The main task during the holiday is to convey information about cancer to the population, since there are a lot of misconceptions on this topic.
