United by Unique: Together, we can prevent cancer, improve care, and save lives.

World Cancer Day 2026, observed globally on February 4, 2026, brings renewed urgency to the fight against one of the world’s leading causes of death. With cancer responsible for nearly 10 million deaths worldwide in 2022, this international awareness day—led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC)—calls on governments, healthcare systems, communities, and individuals to take action. Under the powerful theme “United by Unique,” World Cancer Day 2026 emphasizes that while every cancer journey is different, collective action grounded in prevention, early detection, personalized care, and compassion can transform outcomes for millions.
