Afghan Society Against Cancer intend to celebrate World Cancer Day for the first time in the history of Afghanistan. On this day we will ask people to protect themselves and their family, as 30-40% of cancers can be potentially prevented. We will encourage the media to write about cancer control programs and we will advocate for the government to focus on cancer prevention. Please visit our website for more information.
