New Web Site Connects Latin American Cancer Control NGOs

RedCancer is a new Web site that promotes increased networking and the exchange of best practices in the fight against cancer among Latin American cancer control nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). This Web site is supported by the American Cancer Society as part of the Society’s three-year Latin America Regional Health Grants Program. Fourteen NGOs that have participated in American Cancer Society University (ACSU) trainings are already connected through this publically accessible Web site.

The mission of the American Cancer Society is to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. Because cancer is a global health problem, this mission extends around the world. Cancer is increasing as a leading killer globally, especially in the developing world.

The American Cancer Society is emerging as a global leader in addressing the growing cancer burden. We fight cancer through three areas of global mission delivery: advocacy, capacity building, and information.
