What people feel, think and believe about cancer today – This report outlines the findings of an international survey on public perceptions around cancer led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). It is one of the few multi-country studies to have been conducted into this issue.
More than 15,000 adults across 20 countries were surveyed online from 25th October to 25th November 2019, providing an important insight into public attitudes around cancer in a number of different countries, regions and demographic groups. People were asked questions relating to their concern about cancer, its impact on themselves and their families, their perceptions of risk factors and their personal attitudes and behaviour, together with their expectations of their governments.
