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 our more than 100 years of experience working in the U.S. to make a difference in lower-income countries. 

Our global cancer control initiatives include:

• Cancer prevention 
• Cancer treatment 
• Cancer patient support 
• Capacity development

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

Our work relies on partnerships with a number of organizations and individuals whose mission closely aligns with ours, domestically and abroad. 

In collaboration with our partners, our global Cancer Control team strives to achieve measurable results toward our vision of a world with less disease, mortality and disability due to cancer.
