"Cancer is potentially the most preventable and most
curable of the major
life-threatening diseases facing humankind. By applying existing
knowledge
and promoting evidence-based actions in cancer control, we
will turn this
truth into reality for all people everywhere."

Franco Cavalli
President, UICC

About
UICC
International Union Against Cancer
|
The International
Union Against Cancer (UICC) is the only international non-governmental
organisation that is dedicated solely to the global control
of cancer. Its vision is of a world where cancer is eliminated
as a major life-threatening disease for future generations.
As the
largest independent, non-profit, non-governmental association
of more than 270 cancer-fighting organisations in 84 countries,
UICC is the catalyst for responsible dialogue and collective
action. UICC brings together individuals in the global campaign
against cancer from a wide range of organisation including
advocacy groups, patient survivor support networks, voluntary
cancer societies, public health authorities and research and
treatment centres. The UICC employs a multi-disciplinary staff
and many with extensive experience in cancer control. |

Both
globally, through its partners and volunteer experts as well as
locally, through its member organisations and grassroots networks,
UICC serves as a catalyst for responsible dialogue and effective
action.
