World Cancer Day – Every February 4
This World Cancer Day, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) is joining organizations worldwide to draw attention to inequities in cancer care everywhere and close the care gap.
Disparities in cancer care and outcomes exist between the United States and other countries, and within the U.S. between different races/ethnicities, socioeconomic groups, sexual orientations, gender identities, regions, and more.
To address inequalities in access and help close the care gap, NCCN worked with American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) and the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) to convene the Elevating Cancer Equity Working Group and create the Health Equity Report Card (HERC)—a tool for improving the quality and equity of cancer care.
