In recent years, great strides have been made in the treatment of cancer. One of the most important improvements made has involved education measures intended to draw attention to various forms of cancer, potential treatments, and most important of all, early detection and preventive measures.

Although a highlighted focus on a particular type of cancer is often limited to a day, week, or month every year, we're including an entire year's worth of information for your convenience. Just click on the links at left for information pertaining to the month in question; scroll down the page to see the full annual calendar of data.
