FMCI is committed to delivering the targets of the World Cancer Declaration.

Operating since December 2020, FMCI works closely with hospitals specialized in oncology to identify and provide support to cancer fighters, celebrate cancer survivors, honour the taken, and never give up hope to patients and their close ones. It is foreseen that the death toll will increase to 16.3 million per year by 2040 (Source: Globocan 2020 and Cancer Tomorrow, IARC). Thus, FMCI embraces the battle against cancer through strategic partnerships involving members and other institutions interested in fighting cancer. It aims to save lives by focusing on what needs to be done, by building capacity to meet local needs. Among the planned activities of FMCI to contribute to World Cancer day, running person-to-person exchanges, such as awareness campaigns, workshops, & conferences about cancer, early cancer detection & cancer prevention around the island are on agenda. The Falcon Memorial Cancer Institute will be coming forward with other activities as a drive to call for action.

Are you prepared for what you can’t predict?
Cancer doesn’t follow a schedule.
It doesn’t wait for the right moment.
And it often develops without warning signs.

What you can do is reduce uncertainty through prevention and early screening.
Because detecting cancer early often means simpler treatment and better outcomes.

Prevention is not about fear.
It’s about being informed, proactive, and prepared.

Early detection saves lives.
FMCI is here to guide you, inform you, and support you every step of the way.

Are you prioritising your health?
Many people only seek medical attention when symptoms appear but by then, treatment can become more complex.

Globally, cancer is one of the leading causes of death, with nearly 10 million deaths each year, according to the WHO. Yet many cancers can be detected early through regular screening, before symptoms even begin.

Screening is not about fear.
It’s about prevention.
It’s about taking action before it’s urgent.

Early detection saves lives.
Prevention starts with awareness and responsibility.

FMCI is here to guide you, inform you, and support you at every step of your prevention journey.

Which cancers are most common today?
Understanding the highest-risk cancers helps people get screened earlier and early screening saves lives.

According to the latest global WHO data, the most common cancers worldwide are:

🔵 Breast cancer – the most diagnosed cancer globally
🟤 Lung cancer – leading cause of cancer deaths
🟫 Colorectal cancer – rising in both men and women
🟣 Prostate cancer – one of the most common in men
🟡 Stomach cancer – still a major concern worldwide

Cancer remains one of the world’s biggest health challenges, with nearly 10 million deaths per year, yet up to 30–50% of cases can be prevented through early detection and lifestyle changes.

Knowing which cancers are most common is the first step.
Taking action is the next.

FMCI is here to help you understand your risks, guide your screenings, and support you every step of the way.

Which early signs should you never ignore?
Cancer often develops quietly but more than 50% of cancers are diagnosed too late, when treatment becomes more difficult.

Globally, the WHO reports that cancer is responsible for nearly 10 million deaths each year, yet many cases could be detected earlier if people recognised the warning signs.

Here are some symptoms that should never be overlooked:
• Unexplained fatigue
• Persistent pain
• Changes in a mole or skin lesion
• Unusual bleeding
• Long-lasting cough
• Unexplained weight loss

These signs do not mean cancer by themselves but they should always encourage a medical check-up.

Early detection saves lives.
Awareness is your first prevention tool.

FMCI is here to guide you, inform you, and support you.

How many people will be affected by cancer in their lifetime?
About 1 in 5; more than most realize.
But up to 30–50% of cancers could be prevented or caught early through regular screening and awareness.

Early detection saves lives. Early screening changes outcomes. Early action gives every chance for successful treatment.

At FMCI, we’re committed to informing, guiding and supporting you every step of the way.

03/12/2025

Do you know the right age to begin cancer screening?
Many late diagnoses happen simply because people start too late.

Here are the recommended age guidelines for the most common screenings:

🔵 Prostate: from age 50 (or 45 with family history)
🎀 Breast: from age 40 / regular mammograms from age 50
🟫 Colorectal: from age 50
🟣 Cervical: from age 25 (HPV test / Pap smear)
🟤 Skin: yearly check-ups at any age

Why it’s important:
Over 80% of cancers detected early can be successfully treated.

FMCI is here to guide you, answer your questions, and support you through your screening journey.

28/11/2025

Early detection of prostate cancer can save lives. When caught early, nearly 100% of men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer will survive for 5 years or more. Regular screenings, like PSA tests, are key to detecting cancer at an early stage.

Don’t wait, talk to your doctor about getting tested, especially if you're over 50 or at higher risk. Early action makes all the difference.

Let’s spread the word this Blue November!
