National Cancer Prevention Month is observed every February and focuses on reducing the risk of cancer through proactive lifestyle changes and regular screenings. Founded by the American Association for Cancer Research in the 1990s, this month emphasizes the importance of prevention and early detection in saving lives. Typical actions during this observance include encouraging physical activity, promoting healthy eating, and spreading awareness about cancer prevention through social media and community events. Individuals are also urged to schedule cancer screenings and participate in volunteer efforts to support cancer prevention organizations. The initiative aims to educate the public on healthy habits and the significance of early detection, ultimately contributing to the fight against cancer and supporting those affected by the disease.
