World Breast Cancer Research Day
August 18 · Level 5 · #1178 of 2238
This day shines a light on research into breast cancer and thanks the people who carry it out. The more we learn about the disease, the better early detection and treatment can become.
How it is celebrated: scientists and clinics share news of their studies, patients and volunteers tell their stories, and many people wear pink ribbons or donate to research funds.
Breast cancer is among the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide, and the pink ribbon has become its best-known symbol.
