Mesothelioma Awareness Day
Wednesday, July 7th, 2021
Mesothelioma Awareness Day takes place on September 26 every year with the goal of teaching people about this rare, aggressive and preventable cancer. Awareness also brings in funding for important research to diagnose, manage, and treat rare diseases. There are many ways to get involved and to participate in Mesothelioma Awareness Day, for those with the disease or interested in supporting patients.
What is Mesothelioma Awareness Day?
Mesothelioma Awareness Day was created in 2004 by the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (Meso Foundation) to bring more attention, and ultimately research funding, to this terrible disease. The Meso Foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports those with mesothelioma, conducts research, educates the public, and advocates for victims of asbestos exposure.[1]

Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week®
Tuesday, July 31st, 2018
Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week® (OHANCAW), led by the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance and supported by the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery. OHANCAW is a weeklong series of events promoting awareness of oral, head, and neck cancer, highlighted by a day of free cancer screenings throughout the US. Oral Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week is held each year during the first week in April to shine a light on a potentially fatal disease.
According to a Harris Interactive survey, 71 percent of Americans say they have not been examined by a medical professional for oral, head, and neck cancer. Given the rise in oral cancers related to human papillomavirus (HPV), screening for early detection of this disease is more than important than ever. The Academy is urging you to participate by conducting a free screening at your medical practice, clinic, hospital or medical university. To find screening locations in your area, please visit the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance website for more information.
