Political will and a national strategy that prioritises targeted investments in cancer control as well as action at the international level can reduce the global cancer burden.
UICC has created several new organisations and initiatives to address long-term public health challenges and unmet needs.
While UICC works on all aspects of cancer control covering all cancer types, the organisation pays special attention to a number of key thematic areas.
What is cancer control?
Cancer control aims to reduce the incidence, morbidity and mortality of cancer and to improve the quality of life of cancer patients in a defined population, through the systematic implementation of evidence-based interventions for prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care.
