🎗️ National Cancer Awareness Day (India) - November 7

📅 Observed: November 7
 🌱 Awareness, Action, and Hope

Every year, November 7 is observed as National Cancer Awareness Day in India. This day is dedicated to spreading awareness about early detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer, a disease that touches countless lives across the country.

The observance coincides with the birth anniversary of Marie Curie, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist whose research on radioactivity laid the foundation for cancer treatment through radiation.

🚨 Why Cancer Awareness Matters in India

  • Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in India, with cases rising steadily.

  • Many cancers in India—such as oral, cervical, and breast cancer—are highly preventable and curable if detected early.

  • Due to stigma, lack of awareness, and limited screening, many patients are diagnosed at late stages, reducing chances of recovery.

🎯 Objectives of the Day

  • Encourage regular screenings and self-examination

  • Spread educational messages about symptoms and risks

  • Emphasize the importance of healthy lifestyle habits

  • Break the social stigma surrounding cancer

  • Support patients and caregivers with empathy

🧬 2025 Theme:

“Early Detection Saves Lives: Empower, Educate, Eradicate”
This year’s theme focuses on building accessible screening programs, educating the masses on early signs, and removing the fear associated with diagnosis.

🧠 Artistic Reflection

As an artist and storyteller (CRA), I believe awareness is not just data—it’s a human story. Every cancer fighter is a warrior, every survivor a monument to strength, and every lost soul a reminder to act before it’s too late.

“Let your brush paint courage, your words spread hope, and your awareness save lives.”
— CRA 

✅ How You Can Contribute

🔹 Avoid tobacco and processed foods
🔹 Support NGOs or cancer research programs
