About the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC)

The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) is a membership organisation that unites and supports the cancer community to reduce the global cancer burden, promote greater equity, and ensure that cancer control continues to be a priority in the world health and development agenda. Founded in 1933 and based in Geneva, UICC's growing membership of over 1150 organizations across 170 countries and territories features the world's major cancer societies, cancer centers, ministries of health, research institutes, and patient groups. Fostering inclusive partnerships represents the foundation of how UICC operates and delivers impact. This is why UICC works hand in hand with a variety of stakeholders to drive changes and make progress in the fight against cancer.
