Founded in 1933 and based in Geneva, Switzerland, the UICC is the largest and oldest international organization against cancer. With more than 1,000 member organizations from 162 countries and 56 partners, the UICC brings together the most important entities in the fight against cancer, ministries of health, research and treatment centres, patient associations and industry leaders.

UICC

Over the years, the UICC has become a reputable, objective and independent institution dedicated to promoting cancer control. It urges governments to take action on the issue and ensures that this disease is included as a priority issue in the agendas of the most influential organizations, such as the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum. Since the UICC has obtained the status of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), it collaborates closely with key United Nations agencies, such as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the United Nations Office against Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The UICC and its partners, coming from very diverse sectors, have committed themselves, together, to create real impact and to promote sustainable and quality programs to reduce the scourge posed by cancer and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) worldwide. The UICC is also one of the founding members of NCD Alliance, an international network of civil society organizations representing more than 2,000 entities from 170 countries.

The UICC promotes the formation of partnerships through which it operates and exerts its influence. It works in partnership with different entities, with the aim of promoting changes that transform society and progress in the fight against cancer. Its portfolio of partners includes cancer organizations, foundations and private sector companies with which they have developed a long-term commitment based on common objectives. Together, they aim to save millions of lives by focusing on three priority areas: exchange of good practices, training and advocacy initiatives.
