https://www.worldcancerday.org/ Despite the continuous efforts and improvements in cancer research and technology, people still have multiple barriers that prevent them from accessing proper treatment and care. These barriers to treatment and care include: “Income, education, geographical location and discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability and lifestyle” With this years theme, World Cancer Day encourages our leaders to address these health disparities and address their root causes to ensure equal access to life-saving treatments for everyone. Statistics: World Cancer Day 4 February 2024 This year’s theme: Close the Care Gap In the US, the 5 year survival rate of cervical cancer for white women is 71 % and for black women it is 58%. Childhood cancer survival rates in high-income countries is about 80% but is about 20% in low-income countries. Cancer is the cause of death for nearly 10 million people each year about 70% of which are ages 65 or older. Due to discrimination from healthcare providers, transgender people are less likely to undergo cancer screening than cisgender people. There is a significant difference in access to care in rural and urban areas resulting in higher rates of mortality due to cancer in rural areas. These differences are related to the lack of access to providers, longer travel times, and the financial burden of the expensive healthcare costs.
