On Cancer Control Day: about choice, vocation and prevention

4 February 2026, Wednesday

February 4 is the day when the world unites against cancer.
On World Cancer Day, which is also a professional holiday for oncologists, I would like to talk not only about statistics and prevention, but also about the people who give patients hope every day.

Today we introduce you to a young specialist of the Yelabuga Central Hospital, oncologist Timur Danilov.
Timur Valeryevich's path to medicine was largely predetermined: he grew up in a family where the value of helping people is not just words. His mother has been working as a nurse for many years, and his wife is a pediatrician.
