Blood Cancer UK’s Post

This #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth, we stand with Blood Cancer UK to shine a light on the critical challenges faced by the blood cancer community. 🩸 The recently launched report, ‘Taking Blood Cancer out of the Shadow’s, reveals the disparities in survival rates. For every blood cancer subtype, survival in the UK falls short compared to other nations with similar wealth and health systems. Other alarming statistics captured in the report include: - In the UK, an estimated 40,000 people are diagnosed with blood cancer every year. - Blood cancer has the 3rd highest mortality of all cancers in the UK. - Social determinants appear to have a direct impact on blood cancer survival rates. Every year, around 650 deaths could be avoided, if those diagnosed with blood cancer had the same five-year survival rates of those most socially and economically advantaged. We remain committed to breaking ground across a spectrum of diseases with high unmet needs, including haematology. We support Blood Cancer UK’s call for action to close these gaps and improve outcomes for all. Together, we can drive change and create a brighter future for those impacted by blood cancer.

*Embrace hope and resilience; cancer may break the body but the spirit remains unbreakable.* Every year, 4th February is observed as World Cancer Day by people from all across the globe. This year the theme is *Close the care gap*. The purpose of World Cancer Day is to increase public awareness of cancer, highlight its effects and motivate organisations to work together to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. This day also acts as a reminder of how crucial early detection and leading a healthy lifestyle are important in lowering the risk of cancer. On this day, let’s step forward to support proactive measures in the fight against cancer.

It's National Cancer Survivors Day! ECAN celebrates Esophageal Cancer survivors today and every day. Cancer survivorship isn’t just about being alive after cancer; it’s about living life as fully as possible. Now more than ever, it is vital to ensure cancer survivors are not forgotten once active treatment ends. More people are surviving and living longer after cancer than ever before, but they still face long-term effects such as ongoing physical and emotional side effects, an increased risk for second primary cancers, and potentially devastating financial setbacks. All cancer survivors deserve a life with fewer complications and more celebration. Join us to #CelebrateLife and raise awareness of the challenges of cancer survivorship this National Cancer Survivors Day #NCSD2024.

World Cancer Day is observed on February 4 every year. The day aims to promote awareness about cancer. It also helps to strengthen actions that strive to improve cancer care, detection, preventive measures and treatment. Cancer is a large group of diseases that can affect any organ or tissue of the body. It refers to the abnormal growth of cells that divide uncontrollably. Cancer has the ability to spread from one body part/ organ/ tissue to another. The theme for World Cancer Day 2024 is 'Close the care gap: Everyone deserves access to cancer care.' It is a part of a 3-yearlong campaign from 2022 to 2024. #cancerawareness #cancercare #detection #prevention #niper #mohali

We can close the gap for cancer treatment. The reality today is that who you are and where you live could mean the difference between life and death. It isn’t fair. But we can change this. This year, add your voice to the effort and ask your representative* to close the care gap. *see details in the link below #cancertreatment #regulatoryaffairs #cancerday #researchanddevelopment
