Do you know cancer is the leading cause of death? In 2020 alone, 10 million deaths were recorded worldwide. Unfortunately, it affects people of all ages, i.e., adults and infants. Research has revealed some common types of cancers that are found in kids are blood cancer, Brain and Spinal cord tumors, Kidney tumors, Immune system cancer, Soft tissue/Muscle cancer, Eye cancer, and Bone cancer.

However, the good news is that early detection through screenings can reduce the number of deaths significantly. Advancements in technologies like nanoparticles, immunotherapy, gene editing, and artificial intelligence (AI)  can easily target cancer cells and help to make treatment efficient.

This day offers preschoolers an opportunity to engage in meaningful cancer awareness activities while fostering compassion and understanding of this day. At Ideazsuper, we believe in combining education with action, offering free and paid worksheets for preschoolers in subjects like English, Urdu, and Math to enhance their learning journey.

History of World Cancer Day

Each year, on February 4th, World Cancer Day is celebrated. This initiative occurred in Paris during the World Summit Against Cancer meeting 2000. Leaders signed the Charter of the Paris Against Cancer Agreement at this event. This agreement aimed to cure cancer, revolutionize the treatment, and serve patients. In this agreement, February 4th was declared World Cancer Day to spread awareness and to bring people on one platform to prevent this disease.

What is Cancer?        

1. Cancer is a disease where some cells in the body grow abnormally.
2. They can form lumps called tumors or spread to other body parts.
3. Normal cells follow rules to grow and die, but cancer cells ignore these signals.
