Campaigning for Cancer Prevention

On February 4, 2010 the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) recognized World Cancer Day by launching a new campaign: “Cancer can be prevented too”. This new theme focuses on how the risk of developing cancer can be reduced through lifestyle changes related to tobacco use, alcohol consumption, sun exposure, healthy weight and prevention of cancer-causing infections such as hepatitis. 

In recognition of the increasing burden that liver cancer has throughout the world, the Hepatitis Education Project would like to encourage all to join the Liver Cancer Free Campaign in its effort to raise Legislative support for the Viral Hepatitis and Liver Cancer Prevention Act (H.R. 3974).
