Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day

On January 11th each year, the United Kingdom recognizes Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day, focusing on lung, pancreatic, liver, brain, esophageal, and stomach cancers. With survival rates of less than 20% over five years, these cancers collectively contribute to 50% of deaths from common 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.

Collective efforts are essential, and a meaningful impact can be made with collective efforts. Join OncoDaily in raising awareness.
