About this campaign
"We can. I can." - World Cancer Day's tagline explains how everyone - as a collective or as individuals - can do their part to reduce the global burden of cancer.
World Cancer Day aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year by raising awareness and education about cancer, and pressing governments and individuals across the world to take action against the disease.
A study published by medical journal Lancet in 2012, predicted SA could see an increase of 78% in the number of cancer cases by 2030. Then, South Africa was ranked 50th on the World Cancer Research Fund’s list of countries with the highest cancer prevalence rates.
According to Lancet, prostate cancer is the number one cancer diagnosed among South African men followed by lung, oesophagus, colon/rectum and bladder cancer. Among women, the most prevalent is breast cancer, followed by cervical, uterus, colorectal and oesophageal cancer.
