Our Global Cancer Control Work

Cancer knows no geographical borders and is the second
leading cause of death worldwide. Internationally, deaths each year from cancer greatly outnumber deaths from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. By 2040, the global cancer burden is expected to increase to 29.5 million new cases and 16.4 million deaths annually.

We are leveraging ACS’s experience at the forefront of every cancer breakthrough over 100 + years  to  reduce the cancer burden in low- and middle- income countries. 

Our global cancer control initiatives include:

• Global cancer prevention 
• Global cancer treatment 
• Global cancer patient support

We also work with partners throughout the world to help shape the global policy agenda as it pertains to global cancer control.
