By the year 2020, 20.000.000 persons will get the cancer and 10.000.000 will dye because of this disease.

That’s way the cancer significantly hazards the world economically and obstacles the rhythm of its development. The problem of cancer passes the borders of health care and has the significance of world’s global social importance. That’s way, it could be said, that the Anti-Cancer Activity represents the one of the prioritized direction of global human problem, concerned with struggle Against the evil.
Emblem:
NACC choused as its symbol the orthodox image: ST. Knight George on whites hours, which kills the symbol of evil- Monster by spear. According to NACC modification, ST. George uses Georgian Cross-as a weapon.
Good Faith:
The fact that NACC has taken the National symbol, as a leading flag does not means that the struggle against the evil and the one of its expression- cancer, is advantage only for Orthodox and, that NACC activity is directed toward the discrimination of other religions. On the contrary, all of us, despite the race, ethnical prevalence, sex and profession; representatives of different religions: Christians, Jewish, Muslims, Buddhists are united by common true faith, that there is only one God. Because, all the ways are bringing us to the God, every person has a right to chouse the own way, according to his confession. At the same time, every person sometime in his life will face the different forms of evil. The global evil eradication will be possible only by joint power.

IN GOD WE TRUST, AND THAT IS THE REASON THAT
WE BELIEVE IN GOODS VICTORY ON EVIL AND
ON CANCER PARTICULARLY
