The new World Cancer Day campaign 2025-2027, Theme “United by Unique”
Is indeed unique to explore new ways of making a difference.
Cancer is more than just a medical diagnosis—it’s a deeply personal matter. Behind every diagnosis lies a unique human story – stories of grief, pain, healing, resilience, love and more.
That’s why a people-centred approach to cancer care that fully integrates each individual’s unique needs, with compassion and empathy, leads to the best health outcomes.
Every experience with cancer is unique and it will take all of us, united, to create a world where we look beyond the disease and see the person before the patient. This World Cancer Day, let’s come together to rewrite the future of cancer care – one where the needs of people and communities come first.
Get involved in any way you can.
Because together, we can create change.
Together, we are #UnitedByUnique.
JOIN US AND TAKE ACTION TO SAVE A SOUL TODAY.
