「國際癌症倖存者日」是每年六月的第一個星期日舉行的國際性活動，旨在向曾有癌症病史的個人致敬。
National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual, international event held on the first Sunday of June to honor individuals who have lived with a history of cancer.

基金會將倖存者定義為從診斷之日起至生命結束為止，任何與癌症共存的人。
The foundation defines a survivor as anyone living with cancer, starting from the moment of diagnosis throughout their entire life.
除了慶祝之外，它也是倡議的平台，讓大眾關注倖存者在治療結束後常面臨的生理、心理與經濟上的長期挑戰。
Beyond celebration, it acts as a platform for advocacy, shedding light on the lasting physical, emotional, and financial challenges survivors often face after treatment ends.
這是一個推動改善醫療政策與研究的機會，同時也為倖存者、照護者及家人提供一個相互連結與分享故事的支持空間。
It is an opportunity to push for better healthcare policies and research, while providing a supportive space for survivors, caregivers, and families to connect and share stories.
