One in five people worldwide develop cancer during their lifetime. Prevention of cancer has become one of the most significant public health challenges of the 21st century. It has a critical role to play in the fight against cancer.
Based on current scientific evidence, at least 40% of all cancer cases could be prevented with effective primary prevention measures, and further mortality can be reduced through early detection of tumours.
To mark World Cancer Day (4 February), the International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) and partners are launching the new World Code Against Cancer Framework, an online platform that will promote cancer prevention globally and the development of Regional Codes Against Cancer.
