February 4th is World Cancer Day

February 4, 2026 is World Cancer Day. 

On February 4th, join HealthTree Foundation in raising awareness on World Cancer Day. This initiative, managed by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), helps start conversations about cancer globally with family, friends, organizations, and communities. 

This year's theme is United by Unique. 

In 2022, 20 million people were diagnosed with cancer. Of those, 1.24 million were diagnosed with a blood cancer like multiple myeloma, leukemia, or lymphoma. Each one of those people has a unique experience with cancer: their emotions, support systems, access to care, and perspectives are all different. 

World Cancer Day is a chance to share your story and advocate for people-centered care. Cancer disrupts every part of normal life, including family life, relationships, career, finances, and emotional well-being. People-centered care prioritizes the person at the center of a cancer diagnosis. Learn more about people-centered care. 

How to share your story

This year, on World Cancer Day, share your story by creating a personalized poster on the World Cancer Day website and add it to your social media accounts. Tag HealthTree Foundation if you would like us to share!
