Cancer knows no boundaries

Cancer kills more people in low- and middle-income countries than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. 80% of global cancer deaths occur in LMICs but only 5% of total global spending on cancer care is expended in these regions.

Our Mission

Global Oncology’s mission is to bring the best cancer care to underserved patients around the world. We collaborate across geographic, professional and academic borders to improve cancer care, research and education.
