Breast cancer is one of the
most common cancer overall. And every year, August 18 is observed as World
Breast Cancer Research Day globally to emphasise the urgent need of finding
a cure for the deadly disease. Also, the day aims to raise awareness to show
support to the people suffering from the deadly disease.
The day founded by Dr Susan Love Foundation was first annually celebrated in 2021.
According to World Cancer Research Day Organisation, “Breast cancer advocacy and research is highlighted significantly in October, but our fight against the disease needs to continue throughout the rest of the year. Dr. Susan Love Foundation for Breast Cancer Research, the top-ranked breast cancer research organization in the U.S., recognized the need to highlight breast cancer specifically the research that is being done to combat the disease outside the month of October. Dr Susan Love Foundation is hopeful that World Breast Cancer Research Day will be a pivotal day in history that will allow us to achieve a breast cancer-free world.”
