I’m joining my friends @patti3333.bsky.social and @laurapackard.com on this #WorldCancerDay.

My daughter and I are cancer survivors, and my son has an incurable lifelong skin cancer syndrome (NBCCS).

Yesterday, on #WorldCancerDay, we celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope with the premiere of a short film featuring an adaptation of our song ‘Courage (for Hugh MacLennan)’.

Terry started a marathon against cancer. Together we can end it. 

#FinishIt

I've lost family & friends to this horrid disease. Some have conquered it too, PTL🙏🏻, but it's an insideous & horrible disease that affects so many. Today let’s offer love, prayers & support to the many who have suffered themselves or lost loved ones to cancer. 🩷

Today is #WorldCancerDay, and it's personal to me... As someone who has lost her mom, grandma, grandpa, 2 aunts, 2 uncles, & an entire generation of great aunts & uncles to cancer & who has family survivors, I know the value of med science to the ailing. We CANNOT confirm a conspiracist to lead HHS!

Krebs ist eine beschissene Krankheit, die viel Zeit und Kraft kosten & das länger, als die Meisten wahrhaben wollen. Oft ist "danach" ein "normales" Leben nicht mehr möglich. Auch gibt es bei allem medizinischen Fortschritt zu viele, die es nicht schaffen. Ich denke an Torsun heute #WorldCancerDay

Cancer isn’t just one day, it sadly touched many lives every day. Speaking from experience, early detection matters. Please don’t shy away from getting a check-up! 🎗️💖

Thinking of everyone surviving, fighting and remembering!

Today is #WorldCancerDay

A day to appreciate all the clinicians & researchers 🧪 who dedicate their lives to the fight against #cancer

And to also reflect on what a diagnosis of cancer means - to the person, their family, and their community

Every country, together against cancer 🌍 🌎 🌎

Es ist #WorldCancerDay und damit mein Reminder an euch dass ihr euch bitte checken lasst wenn irgendwas ungewöhnlich ist. Relativ frühe Erkennung von Krebs hat mein Leben gerettet und es kann auch eures retten!

It’s #WorldCancerDay 🌍 Air pollution can increase cancer risk, especially lung cancer. Breathing clean air matters—small changes like better ventilation or using an air purifier can help.

Did you know heavy #pesticide exposure can raise cancer risk as much as smoking? On this #WorldCancerDay, the Commission will probably highlight the Beat Cancer Plan - an initiative designed to fight against the illness from prevention to early detection.

Why do academic #ClinicalTrials matter?
Because they show which treatments truly benefit patients.

Roger, an EORTC trial participant, shares why independent, non‑commercial cancer research is essential.

In honor of #WorldCancerDay, we thought we'd share an appropriate #ActOfKindness. Two RA staff members realized that patients had difficulty accessing their ports for treatment. They decided to purchase and donate 48 adaptable t-shirts for cancer patients. What a great impact!

For #WorldCancerDay: my #embroidery Bleeding Vessel (2022). I finished it while recovering from a hysterectomy after stage IA endometrial cancer. Thankfully surgery & checkups are the only treatment I needed. #SciArt #MedSky 🧪🐡🧶

An embroidery of a uterus, Fallopian tubes, & ovaries, in black thread on white linen textured like a woodcut. The endometrium is in thick bright red & burgundy. Two fibroids are beaded in red, pink, & cream. A cyst on the right ovary is in clear, purple, & red beads. A polyp in dark red & purple beads is inside the uterus. Long burgundy strings with red beads hang from the bottom.

This year's #WorldCancerDay campaign places people at the centre of cancer care.

A new Editorial in @thelancetph.bsky.social highlights the important role cancer screening can play in a people-centred approach to care: tinyurl.com/467wnph6
Quote from The Lancet Public Health's February 2025 Editorial. Quote reads: A truly personalised, people-centred approach to cancer screening that is equitable, affordable, and risk-based is an ideal worth fighting for.

An illustration shows how antibodies, peptides, and other molecules can be used to target the radioisotope to a specific type of cancer cell, which it kills by damaging its DNA. Alpha particle emitters affect a smaller number of cells (5 to 10 per particle) but do more damage, causing double-strand DNA breaks, whereas beta emitter particles affect a wider area (75 to 100 cells per particle) but cause only single-strand DNA breaks.

Each cancer is different, and so are the specific treatment options. "Onconaut," an #AI-based tool developed by #mdcBerlin's @al2na.bsky.social and his team, is designed to navigate through the maze of options more efficiently.

#WorldCancerDay Almost twenty years ago today, I had an operation to remove one of my testicles. I had been diagnosed with what was thought to be cancer. It was.
5 years later, the other testicle became swollen. I was put under observation for another 5 years.

I owe my life to The Royal Marsden.

I’m thinking of my family members who survived cancer thanks to the work of doctors & scientists.
Fighting cancer is 1 of the reasons I became a researcher
