This mail dedicated to World Cencer Day: 4th February 2011.

The WHO observes February 4 each year as World Cancer Day to spread awareness among people. 

It is distressing that even in 2011, people are dying unnecessarily from cancers that could be prevented through maintaining a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,

Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who don't smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.

There isn't a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the obligation to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible

With the help of International Union Against Cancer (UICC), the WHO tries to aware people how the disease could be tackle and cured.

According to the survey, the 70 percent deaths occurred due to Cancer every year globally.

The motive behind to celebrate World Cancer Day is to plan the strategy against cancer and how it could be controlled.

The WHO also invites suggestions to prevent such death especially in undeveloped and developing countries. Preventing cancer and raising quality of life for cancer patients are recurring themes.

This year's theme, "Cancer can be prevented too", focuses on simple measures to prevent cancer such as:
no tobacco use, a healthy diet and regular exercise, limited alcohol use, protection against cancer-causing infections.
