On September 15th, we marked World Lymphoma Awareness Day, which is part of the broader Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Despite being the 5th most common cancer, lymphoma remains unfamiliar to many, with significant gaps in public knowledge about its symptoms. This year’s theme, “Let’s Talk Lymphoma”, emphasizes the importance of ensuring no one faces lymphoma alone. We encourage open conversations—whether it’s sharing symptoms or discussing personal journeys with the disease. At ICON, we are proud to support Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
