477 cancer patients treated in last 7 years. The National Cancer Center (NCC), Khan Bank and Mongolian National Broadcaster extended their contract for the National Campaign against Cancer on the occasion of World Cancer Day, marked on February 4. The National Cancer Center reports on results of anti-cancer activities every year on World Cancer Day. This year, it reported that over 300 doctors and medical officers traveled 63 kilometers, visited each province in Mongolia at least three to four times, screened some 116000 people most vulnerable to cancer, and performed surgery for 477 people over the past seven years. As of February 1, there were more than 15,000 people living with cancer and the majority of them, specifically 70 percent, were diagnosed with liver, stomach, esophagus, lung and cervical cancers. World Cancer Day aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year by raising awareness and education about the disease, pressing governments and individuals across the world to take action. The Ulaanbaatar Health Office encouraged the public to get a health checkup as 76 percent of cancer patients are diagnosed during late stages of cancer, making treatment ineffective.
