The goal of World Cancer Day is to prevent cancer deaths across the globe through education, awareness, and the lobbying governments to take measures to research and combat this disease. It is vital to bring awareness to cancer since more people die each year from cancer than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. Currently the number of deaths each year is 10 million and experts expect the number to rise each year.
