Cancer patients in Bali generally come in an advanced stage. This happens because the patient does not immediately undergo the diagnostic and treatment process due to various factors. World Cancer Day was created by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) to support the World Cancer Declaration , which was made in 2008. The main goal of World Cancer Day is to significantly reduce cancer morbidity and mortality by 2020. World Cancer Day is celebrated every February 4th to raise awareness of cancer and promote cancer prevention, detection and treatment

In commemoration of World Cancer Day, on February 17, 2019, the Oncology division of FK UNUD RSUP Sanglah which was spearheaded by Prof. Dr. dr. IB Tjakra Wibawa Manuaba, MPH, Sp.B (K)Onk FINACS by cooperating with YKI (Indonesian Cancer Foundation) and KOMPAK (Cancer Care Student Community), held a long march. The activity was attended by the surgical resident of the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, KOMPAK students consisting of

an undergraduate student from the medical study program at Udayana University Medical Faculty, nursing, psychology, and public health sciences, and a member of YKI located at the Catur Muka Puputan Statue

During the long march , KOMPAK gave speeches as well as socialization about the importance of the role of education in increasing awareness of cancer prevention. The same oration was also voiced by Dr. dr. I Wayan Sudarsa, Sp.B(K)Onk. He advised not to be afraid of cancer and we can defeat cancer together and prevent it before it's too late. In addition to orations, this activity was also enlivened by the presence of contemporary drama performances that contained education about the correct view of this frightening disease. Today's activity reached its peak and was closed with a balloon releasing event that reads HKD 2019. Besides the Catur Muka Puputan Statue, the activity was continued at Sanglah Hospital on Friday, February 22, 2019. The event which was held in the Angsoka parking lot was attended by Professors, participants PPDS-1 students at Udayana University, KOMPAK students, and YKI members. The activity started with a leisurely walk followed by healthy exercise. After the exercise was over, speeches and balloons were released on the prepared stage. At the end of the activity, the stage was rocked by the WARS band, the pride band of the surgical science program, the ophthalmology study program band, a modern dance performance from the dermatovenerology study program, and closed by a band from the pediatrics study program.

As the organizing committee for the implementation of this World Cancer Day event, the resident of the Udayana Surgery Study Program also enlivened and cheered up the atmosphere. We chatted, sang, danced and joked with cancer survivors. Don't forget to take part in capturing this happy moment with our beloved consular. Now the happy event has been carried out successfully, but hopefully the fight against cancer will continue in accordance with the motto of Cancer Day this year – I AM AND I WILL. (TIO/UBI)
