Previvor Day Poster graphic. Previvor Day is a celebration of the courage and strength of those at higher risk for cancer due to certain inherited genetic mutations. Being a previvor does not mean you will get cancer. Previvorship is about being informed, proactive, and monitored regularly to significantly reduce the risk. Knowledge is power.
