UICC is a non-government organisation based in Geneva which serves international cancer organisations to unite the cancer community to reduce the global cancer burden, to promote greater equity and to ensure cancer continues to be a priority in the world health and development agenda. The World Cancer Congress (WCC) is an award-winning international conference which encourages effective knowledge transfer and best practices exchange amongst global cancer control and public health experts. Aiming at strengthening the participants' action and impact on national, regional, and international scales, the WCC is built around a multidisciplinary programme that features the latest successful interventions in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care.
