This past weekend marked the final year of the ‘We can. I can.’ World Cancer Day campaign, a campaign which has sought, since 2016, to empower everyone – individuals, communities and organisations – to take action for themselves, the people they love and the wider world. 

Cities all over the world shone a light for World Cancer Day  

​Launched by the Union for International Cancer Control, the new ‘Treatment for All’ campaign aims to promote greater equity in access to cancer services to reduce the 4.3 million premature deaths due to cancer each year.

This World Cancer Day, we are calling for equal access to cancer detection, treatment and care services around the world. Share the message that everyone  - no matter where they were born, where they live, their gender, income or ethnicity -  should have access to the life-saving diagnosis, treatment and care they need. 

This World Cancer Day, UICC joins its partner Boehringer Ingelheim to talk about the causal link between asbestos and mesothelioma and the challenges of securing a diagnosis and optimal treatment for rare cancers. UICC takes this opportunity to update its call to action on asbestos and highlights the WHO top 10 chemicals of public health concern.

To mark World Cancer Day 2018, the McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer releases its new Strategic Plan for 2018-2022 that UICC had the pleasure of collaborating on.
