About #OctoberIs4Livers
October is Liver Cancer Awareness Month and #OctoberIs4livers is the first and only global program dedicated to public awareness, policy, education, and clinical practice needs to prevent and manage liver cancer. Throughout the years this program has continued to grow, providing a successful platform for the 2021 campaign.
Designed to span the globe to improve health outcomes for liver cancer patients, the #OctoberIs4Livers program aims to rally stakeholders in creative and impactful ways to support the countless men, women, and loved ones that have heard the terrifying words “you have liver cancer.”
We have something for everyone! You bring the passion, we’ll give you the tools to change the world for liver patients.
GLI promotes awareness and action through the tremendously successful #OctoberIs4Livers campaign. The 2021 program was our fourth year full of activities that brought the liver cancer community– patients, survivors, caregivers, advocates, experts, and others– together to increase the global dialogue about liver cancer. This program reached more than 288 million people through a variety of both in-person and virtual activities, programs, and initiatives.
In 2022 we will continue to push boundaries among the liver cancer community and engage public leaders to ensure public awareness, policy changes, and advancements in clinical practice. Join us October 2022 to be a part of that change!
