January 11th is National Day of Less Survivable Cancer Awareness

Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day is observed annually on January 11th in the UK, focusing on raising awareness about six types of cancers that have low survival rates: lung, pancreatic, liver, brain, esophageal, and stomach cancers.

This initiative aims to highlight the critical importance of early diagnosis and encourage individuals to recognize symptoms and seek medical attention promptly. The day was launched by the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce (LSCT) to address the alarming statistics surrounding these cancers, which are responsible for nearly half of all cancer deaths and account for a quarter of all cancer cases in the UK.

The campaign emphasizes the need for increased public awareness regarding the symptoms of less survivable cancers and advocates for better education among healthcare professionals and policymakers. Events and activities are organized to engage communities, raise awareness on social media using hashtags like #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessDay, and promote discussions about improving cancer care.

Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day serves as an important platform to advocate for research funding, improved diagnostic pathways, and enhanced patient support for those affected by these challenging cancers.

Addressing this significant survival gap is crucial, aiming to enhance outcomes for these six types of cancers, which account for approximately one-fourth of all cancer cases in the UK.
