November 27th is Cancer Awareness
November 27th is Cancer Awareness Day. The date was established by Law No. 11,652, of April 7, 2008, with the aim of raising awareness about cancer prevention and control in Brazil. The choice of November 27th refers to the founding of the National Cancer Institute (INCA), created in 1937, which plays a crucial role in the research and treatment of the disease. The day serves to promote information campaigns about the importance of early detection, appropriate treatment and palliative care, in addition to highlighting the need for support for patients and their families. Cancer is one of the main causes of death in the country, and the date seeks to mobilize society and health agencies to implement preventive actions, offering resources and support to those facing this disease.
