World Cancer Day 2025: Cancer spreads from person to person?

World Cancer Day is an international day observed on February 4 every year to raise awareness about cancer and encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. Cancer is a major health concern worldwide, being the second-leading cause of death globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, there were 2.4 million new cases of cancer in South-East Asia alone, resulting in 1.5 million deaths.

To reduce the impact of cancer, it's essential to be aware of the risk factors. It is also the need of the hour to clear all misconceptions and seek timely treatment without any delay. Remember, cancer can be managed with precise diagnosis and intervention.
