World Cancer Day 2026
The Bone and Joint Clinic in Nairobi, joins the international community in commemorating World Cancer Day this 4th February 2026. The new World Cancer Day theme 2025-2027 “United by Unique” places people at the centre of care and their stories at the heart of the conversation.
Every experience with cancer is unique and it will take all of us, united, to create a world where we look beyond the disease and see the person before the patient.
This World Cancer Day, let's come together to rewrite the future of cancer care - one where the needs of people and communities come first.

Many people don't realize that different types of cancer can start in the bones! Most bone tumors are benign (not cancerous). However, some bone tumors are malignant (cancerous), and can cause cancer cells to spread throughout the body. In almost all cases, treatment for bone tumors involves a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
Bone tumors can affect any bone in the body and develop in any part of the bone, from the surface to the center of the bone (the bone marrow). A growing bone tumor destroys healthy tissue and weakens bone, making it more vulnerable to fractures.
It is always advisable to get checked by a specialist as soon as you suspect something out of the ordinary.
