WORLD CANCER THEME World Cancer Day "Close the Care Gap" The risk of cancer is seen increasing rapidly globally, people of almost all ages are being found victims of it. In a recent report, the World Health Organization (WHO) expressed concern and said that cancer cases may increase further in the coming years, for which it is important for all people to continue taking precautions. The theme for the years 2022-2024 is 'Close the care gap' that focuses on eliminating the difference in access to cancer care services faced by populations of various groups of country income, age, gender, ethnicity etc.The 2019-2021 campaign theme was 'I Am and I Will'. The theme seeks to counter the negative attitude and fatalistic belief that nothing can be done about cancer, and instead promotes how our personal actions can be powerful and impactful.

CERVICAL CANCER:- Cervical cancer is a growth of cells that starts in the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Cervical cancer Various strains of the human papillomavirus, also called HPV, play a role in causing most cervical cancers. HPV is a common infection that's passed through sexual contact. When exposed to HPV, the body's immune system typically prevents the virus from doing harm. In a small percentage of people, however, the virus survives for years. This contributes to the process that causes some cervical cells to become cancer cells.
