Today is World Cancer Day
In 2006, cancer killed more people in developing countries than malaria and typhoid combined. In addition to these deaths, the number of people globally diagnosed with cancer rose at alarming rates; particularly in Asian countries where increases in smoking and environmental conditions serve as the main cause.
Today, we, at the National Foundation for Cancer Research, in conjunction with our world-wide colleagues, wish to pause and recognize February 4th, 2008, as World Cancer Day a new and promising international collaboration between philanthropists, charities, and researchers, around the world to find cures and raise the awareness that cancer is a growing global problem.
By working together, we hope that by raising public awareness of World Cancer Day, we can shed light on the number of global cancer deaths - particularly those due to second-hand smoke - and increase the possibility of coming together to find cures for cancer.
As a result, NFCR is pleased to announce yet another way you can help fight the global war on cancer. We have partnered with the Nobel-Prize winning International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to establish the PACT Fund at NFCR - a unique fund that will support the IAEA and their Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT) in developing countries and enable developing countries to develop newer and more effective diagnostic equipment. Early detection of cancer has shown a dramatic increase in a patients ability to beat cancer and this is our goal with PACT.
PACT’s focus is essential. In fact, if current smoking patterns in developing countries continue, the number of tobacco-related deaths in the world will rise to 8.3 million deaths per year by 2030 and more than 70% of these deaths will occur in developing countries. Dr. Massoud Samiei, Head of the PACT Programme Office, states “Our priority through these projects is to demonstrate that cancer is a preventable and a curable disease. If sufficient funds were available millions of lives could be saved, even with relatively simple solutions."
Help us eliminate the threat of cancer not just in our own country, but around the world. Donate today to the NFCR PACT Fund by clicking HERE or call 1-800-321-CURE (2873).
ALL DONATIONS MADE ON FEB. 4th, 2008 WILL GO TO SUPPORT THE GLOBAL EFFORT TO FIGHT CANCER through our PACT Fund.
