世界節(jié)假日博覽 第19期:世界癌癥日

　　World Cancer Day falls on February the 4th each year. It aims to draw attention to the effect cancer has on the lives of millions around the world. Around 7 million people die each year from the different types of cancer. Eleven million new cases are reported annually. World Cancer Day started in 2005 as part of the World Cancer Campaign. It followed the World Summit Against Cancer in the New Millennium, which took placein 2000. Many international organizations hold awareness campaigns and fundraising events on this day. In particular, the World Health Organization and the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) are very active. In 2008, the UICC promoted the “I love my smoke-free childhood year” against passive smoking.

　　世界癌癥日被定于每年的2月4日。該節(jié)日的目的是讓人們引起重視，癌癥影響著全球上百萬人的生命。每年，死于各種癌癥的人口數(shù)量大約為700萬。每年都會出現(xiàn)1100萬的新病例。它作為世界癌癥活動的一部分，開始于2005年。它緊隨在千禧年2000年所舉辦的世界抗癌峰會以后。在這一天里，許多國際組織都會舉辦宣傳以及籌集資金活動。世界衛(wèi)生組織和國際抗癌聯(lián)盟尤為活躍。2008年，國際抗癌聯(lián)盟開啟了“無煙童年”以此來反對二手煙。

　　Cancer is the growth and spread of damaged cells in the body that destroy or kill healthy cells. It can affect almost any part of the body. Common types of cancer include lung cancer, breast cancer and stomach cancer. People can reduce the risk of getting cancer by avoiding common risk factors such as tobacco and drinking alcohol. Smoking is one of the biggest causes of lung cancer. Not all cancers will kill you. Many can be cured by surgery or by treatments such as chemotherapy. Cancer is the world’s biggest killer. It kills more people than AIDS,tuberculosis and malaria put together. Many deaths can be avoided. With adequatefunding, health authorities could prevent 40% of all cancers and cure 30% of those caught early.

　　癌癥就是身體中的受損細胞的擴散和增長，它能夠破壞并殺害健康細胞。癌癥幾乎能夠影響身體的各個部位。癌癥的普遍類型包括肺癌、乳腺癌以及胃癌。人們可以通過如抽煙喝酒所帶來的危險因素來降低患病風險。抽煙是癌癥的最大誘因之一。并不是所有的癌癥都致命。許多癌癥都可以通過手術(shù)或是化療來治愈。癌癥是全球最大殺手。癌癥的致死人數(shù)超過了艾滋病、肺結(jié)核和瘧疾的總和。許多死亡是可以避免的。如果資金充足，衛(wèi)生部的有關(guān)部門將可以避免40%的癌癥，并治愈30%的早期癌癥。
