February 4 is World Cancer Day, a day to push the fight of the disease and push for a cure. This day has gone viral online through the use of social media and popular hashtags #WeCanICan and #WorldCancerDay since it started back in 2000. The campaign is aimed to promote research to cure cancer and prevent the disease, as well as improve treatment to patients and raise awareness about the disease.
According to the American Cancer Society, 14.5 million Americans who have or had cancer are living today, and the number continues to grow. Every year over 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed, and 14.1 million people globally are diagnosed too. Breast, bowel, lung, and prostate are the most common types of cancers doctors say. With the large impact cancer has, we at Spannhake Orthodontics decided to show support by spreading awareness.
