To contribute

“Cancer represents a tremendous burden on patients, families and societies… Almost seven million people die each year of cancer, and many of these deaths can be avoided if appropriate measures are put in place to prevent, early detect, cure and care… The non-governmental organisations have to be involved, committed and participate - and even lead this movement. That has to be complemented by the government and the international organisations, like WHO. But none of these entities can do it alone."

Dr LEE Jong-wook
Director-General,WHO
(2003-2006)

Partners

The fight against cancer is at a turning point. In close partnership with patient and survivor support networks, national cancer societies, international health organisations, public health specialists and government line ministries, the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) is in a unique position to pool resources and expertise to contain the further spread of this deadly disease.
