2025 Annual Report

Message from the President

In a year marked by uncertainty and uneven progress in global health, it is remarkable what we have managed to achieve as a community through sustained commitment, collaboration and a shared sense of purpose.

The determination shown by UICC’s members, who stand at the heart of our organisation’s mission, was especially important this year. Their efforts, together with the engagement of partners and our wider network, helped maintain cancer control as a priority. This included continued focus on practical steps to help countries prevent, detect, and treat cancer, and to support people affected by the disease.

One of the clearest signals of this collective strength was World Cancer Day. The first year of the United by Unique campaign resonated across our membership and beyond, with strong reach across social and traditional media. It was heartwarming to see so many taking part in the Upside Down Challenge – sharing a photo or video of themselves upside down, and a personal story about how cancer has affected them – a reminder of how many lives around the world are affected by cancer.

We also strengthened support for national leadership. In May, UICC hosted the inaugural Cancer Planners Forum, in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), bringing together national cancer control planners from 40 countries. Even amid development aid cuts and political uncertainty, we are seeing innovative, evidence-based, and practical approaches emerging across regions, rooted in local realities. We look forward to welcoming participants again for the second edition of the Cancer Planners Forum on 13–15 May 2026 in Geneva.

In November, the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit in Melbourne offered another moment of connection and shared purpose. Meeting so many of our members, partners, and other important actors in global health, I was reminded as always of the remarkable strength and diversity of our community.

The Summit also marked the launch of the World Cancer Declaration 2025–2035, endorsed by leaders during the meeting and now supported by organisations across the cancer community. This is intended to act as a shared framework that members and partners can use to reinforce accountability and increase investment in quality cancer services.

UICC continued to grow its membership through 2025, bringing together organisations across the globe working in prevention, care, research, and advocacy, including groups led by, and working alongside, people with lived experience of cancer.

On the global policy front, UICC welcomed the adoption of the UN Political Declaration on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) and Mental Health. The Declaration includes commitments relevant to cancer control, and emphasises how progress will depend on follow-through at country level, backed by financing, strong health systems, and action that reaches communities who are too often left behind.

Thank you for your continued trust and engagement. It is a privilege to serve as UICC President, and I look forward to building on this foundation with all of you in the year ahead.

Union for International Cancer Control

Message from the CEO

For many health organisations in Geneva, 2025 was an extremely difficult year. As the ramifications of the various political decisions unravelled, many international organisations cut back, releasing staff and halting programmes and initiatives affecting the lives of millions around the world. The full implications on the cancer community will surface in the coming years, but we can expect and demand increased local ownership given the reduced role for international organisations, which have traditionally funded the health systems and responses to the disease burden of developing countries.

UICC’s funding model has proved to be resilient given the wider context and we concluded the year with a balanced budget, growing our staff base and increasing the support we provide to our members through a suite of impactful activities online and in-person. Week after week, we have helped and supported members increase their ability to drive change at a national level, engaged partners in our cancer control priorities, and delivered impact in key global fora.

In 2025, we developed and published a 2025-2028 Business Plan, setting out our priorities and areas of focus for the next four years. In addition to improving our services to UICC members, we have identified people-centred care, lung cancer, women’s cancers, medicines access in LMICs, and improving health systems for cancer control, as areas in which the UICC team can play a unique role with partners, impacting the global challenges we face in each of these areas. Our partners have been extraordinarily supportive and provided us with the energy and funding to take each of these challenges forward with confidence.

As highlighted by Ulrika in her foreword, we organised the inaugural Cancer Planners Forum in 2025, bringing together 40 government officials to discuss cancer control planning and exchange best practice. The Forum proved so successful that we have a second Forum running in 2026 and I anticipate this event becoming a regular feature in the UICC calendar, complementing the biennial World Cancer Congress and the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit. Our ability to bring the cancer community together is critical to the success of our organisation and such interactions inperson cannot be replicated easily through online meetings.

As ever, the UICC team in Geneva and our army of volunteers who work with us every day have remained focused on what is important to our membership. This report summarises the work which has been delivered and the impact it has had. For such a small team, we achieve so much. We are blessed to be led by an outstanding Board of Directors and Ulrika Kågström, our President. I would like to thank the UICC team, the Board, and Ulrika for their energy and commitment in 2025, making it a pleasure to be the CEO of such a wonderful organisation.

Dr Cary Adams Chief Executive Officer, Union for International Cancer Control

Our mission

UICC unites and supports the cancer community to reduce the global cancer burden, to promote greater equity and to ensure cancer control continues to be a priority in the world health and development agenda.

Supporting members around the world

Members drive UICC’s priorities, inspire the action, and are central to everything UICC does. In 2025, UICC welcomed 55 new member organisations, bringing the total number to 1,132 across 172 countries and territories. Most new members are full members, representing Asia-Pacific and Europe. They indicate a strong interest in learning and development opportunities and in events such as the World Cancer Congress.

Of the 1,132 organisations with membership of UICC, 501 were full members with rights to vote at the UICC General Assembly and for their CEOs to attend the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit, 161 were associate members and the remaining were global network members.

Building on the successful launch of the membership centricity initiative, UICC renewed its focus on delivering value to members by prioritising their needs while continuously strengthening member services. Significant progress in membercentric communications, including the launch of the UICC Member Insider newsletter, a notable increase in the number of articles on our website based on interviews with our members, and social media engagements, have largely contributed to increasing the visibility of members across UICC’s network.

“UICC represents a global network of excellence and collaboration. For Hospital Moinhos de Vento, being part of UICC means having access to cuttingedge knowledge and information, and it reflects a collective commitment to improving cancer care. It strengthens our mission to bring the best in oncology to our patients in Brazil.’’

Luiza Abdalla, Strategy and New Business Manager, Hospital Moinhos de Vento, Brazil

“As an oncology society from a low- and middleincome setting, AMPOK has found UICC membership invaluable in connecting our clinicians and researchers to a truly global community. (...) Through access to UICC’s educational resources, thematic webinars, and the World Cancer Congress platform, our members are able to learn from best practices across regions. This engagement has strengthened our advocacy for equitable cancer care (...) Looking ahead, we see UICC as a vital partner in scaling our cancer control innovations (...)”

Association of Medical and Pediatric Oncologists of Kerala (AMPOK), India

172 countries and territories

1,132 members

“UICC’s strength lies in its members. Through active engagement, shared knowledge and collaboration across regions, our membership community continues to shape a stronger and more united response to cancer worldwide.”

Supporting members through exclusive learning and development opportunities

UICC’s learning and development opportunities supported 1,637 individuals from 910 organisations across 146 countries, of which 927 individuals (57%) and 356 organisations (39%) were UICC members.

In terms of membership type, the full and associate members engaged in 2025 represent over half (54%) of total full and associate members in the UICC membership in 2025.

Member engagement at key events

“It’s a vital role that UICC plays in connecting us with international communities. If you want to advance cancer control as one of your main objectives, it is better to join UICC and work together.’’

Mohammad Syafiq Abdullah, Director, Brunei National Cancer Center, Brunei

UICC’s participation in both in-person and online events has broadened its engagement with diverse membership communities. Through its partnership with the Economist Impact, UICC hosted a networking event at the World Cancer Series Europe in Brussels (10–11 June), which attracted new members and strengthened UICC’s visibility among European stakeholders.

Another milestone was the gathering of UICC members at the National Cancer Congress Malaysia (20–22 June). In collaboration with the National Cancer Society of Malaysia, UICC convened a session with 30 members from 14 Asia-Pacific countries, fostering new relationships, strengthening collaborations, and contributing to renewed engagement in rethinking the World Cancer Declaration.

The AORTIC 2025 Conference in Tunisia offered UICC a significant platform to deepen engagement across Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean, with over 150 conference delegates joining discussions at the UICC booth. Strategic connections were made with prospective members, civil society groups, hospitals, and research centres. The conference showcased strong momentum for regional collaboration and opened promising avenues for new partnerships.

The World Cancer Leaders’ Summit in Melbourne, a flagship event for full members, attracted more than 120 UICC member participants, reaching higher figures than the previous World Cancer Leaders’ Summit 2023 in in Long Beach, California.

Member Lens - developing a member-centred data culture

The first phase of Member Lens, a membership data project, was successfully completed. The aim is to establish reliable membership information to improve targeted outreach efforts. Findings of the initial phase enabled UICC to address foundational requirements for the management of the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform.

“Unicancer brings together France’s Comprehensive Cancer Centres around a unique not-for-profit model, combining care, research, innovation, and education within a shared ambition: improving outcomes for patients. Through our collaboration with UICC, we are pleased to contribute this collective expertise to the global cancer community, while learning from the diversity and strength of UICC’s international network.’’

UICC Connect

UICC Connect is the global community platform purposebuilt for cancer professionals and organisations to meet peers, learn together, exchange practical knowhow, and turn ideas into impact across programmes, geographies, and the full continuum of cancer control. It offers thematic rooms, member exclusive learning and content, and structured spaces that extend UICC convenings and advocacy into year-round collaboration.

“Coming from a non-medical background, UICC Connect has been transformative. It gave me access to courses, resources, and practical tools, helping me grow, learn from global peers, and strengthen my advocacy. The platform turns isolation into connection and learning into action, building confident individuals who drive stronger, more equitable cancer systems.”

Nadine Saadeh, Project Manager, Barbara Nassar For Cancer Patient Support, Lebanon

“A platform like UICC Connect can be incredibly valuable for sharing knowledge, best practices, and experiences with professionals across the globe. It fosters collaboration, learning, and support within the cancer care community, helping advocates like me strengthen our impact and bring better resources and hope to patients.”

Suchismita Das, Patient Advocate, Lung Connect India Foundation, India

Over 2025, UICC Connect consolidated its position as the online community platform for cancer professionals globally in its first full year of operations since the public release in September 2024:

→ Over 1,000 new users signed up

→ A total of 1,277 cancer professionals engaged with the platform

→ 802 (63%) of the users active in 2025 were UICC members, representing 323 member organisations

→ An average of 377 users logged in to UICC Connect every month, with approximately 50% of these being returning users

While the platform is open to anyone working professionally in cancer control, outreach is targeted predominantly at UICC members. Member organisations and their affiliates have exclusive access to online courses as well as to premium content and rooms. By the end of 2025, the platform had hosted 15 public discussion rooms (i.e. visible and accessible by all users), and seven private discussion rooms (i.e. accessible by invited users).

To nurture engagement among users, Connect Live sessions were launched in the last quarter of 2025. These are regular Zoom meetings designed to foster a sense of community, create connections and share ideas among UICC Connect users around broad themes. By the end of the year, three Connect Live sessions had been hosted, bringing users together on topics such as childhood cancer, breast cancer, and people-centred care.

Online learning

Overall, 283 individuals from 164 organisations took part in UICC’s online courses in 2025.

More than 97% of respondents of the satisfaction survey reported improved knowledge, and approximately 90% of respondents expressed a level of confidence in applying the knowledge acquired.

Two live, cohort-based, courses were offered to UICC members on the UICC Connect platform:

→ Advocacy for Improved Cancer Control (run in English, French and Spanish from March to June)

→ Women, power and cancer: Implementing the Lancet Commission’s recommendations (run in partnership with the McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer and members of the Lancet Commission from April to July)

An additional five courses were available in 2025 on demand as selfpaced courses on UICC Connect:

→ Engaging with law and policy for cancer prevention and control

→ The Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative foundational course

Online courses offered ‘live’ on UICC Connect are complemented by dedicated discussion rooms, live faculty-led sessions and interactive discussions and assignments. Following the course, the prerecorded material is made available to all members on UICC Connect in a self-paced format, enabling those who may have not been able to complete the course during its live iteration to complete the learning on demand.

→ The Global Breast Cancer Initiative foundational course

“Almost all modules are relevant to my organisation effort in supporting the MOH of the Republic of Indonesia in developing its National Action Plan for Breast Cancer.”

Budiastuti Wening, Vice Chairperson, Indonesian Breast Cancer Foundation, Indonesia – participant in the Advocacy for Improved Cancer Control course

→ The Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer foundational course

→ Management essentials for civil society organisations in the cancer control space (available in English, French and Spanish)

A variety of self-paced courses are also available to members on UICC Connect, including foundational learning opportunities on the three WHO Global initiatives for childhood cancer, breast and cervical cancer.

“This was a very enlightening course. I thoroughly enjoyed the flow of the modules and speakers. Bringing the gender lens into the cancer space is a game changer and am already thinking of strategies to use to highlight this in our advocacy.”

Karen Nakawala, Executive Director, Teal Sisters Foundation, Zambia –participant in the course, ‘Women, power and cancer: Implementing the Lancet Commission’s recommendations’

Organisational leadership

In 2025, UICC continued to support UICC member organisations with learning and training opportunities to help strengthen the functioning and sustainability of their organisation.

The online course ‘Management essentials for civil society organisations in the cancer control space’, covered key organisational domains, from governance to strategy, communications to fundraising, and financial management to HR. Structured over eight modules, the course was made available to members in self-paced mode on UICC Connect.

Additionally, in support of the women’s cancers thematic priority, 12 member organisations working across breast and cervical cancer were offered one-onone guidance and support from expert mentors to help them tackle specific management and organisational challenges, identified through a structured selfreflection process.

To nurture peer-learning and accountability, individuals were invited to join a discussion room on UICC Connect dedicated to organisational strengthening. The room offers a space for the mentees to share progress, experiences, challenges, tips, tools and resources towards making their organisations, programmes or teams stronger, more efficient and sustainable.

Finally, also in support of the women’s cancers theme, in July, UICC hosted a three-part online workshop series on storytelling skills to drive action and change in support of 11 health professionals, advocates, patient leaders and researchers working on driving cervical cancer elimination efforts and scaling up HPV vaccination in their countries.

“I am going to use what I learned in my work to ensure HPV vaccination uptake in Ghana and also advocate for cervical screening in rural communities.”

Rukaya Mumuni, Principal Nursing Officer, Ghana Health Service, Ghana

Scholarships

UICC Scholarships, formally established in 2024, build on years of experience providing travel grants. They offer support towards travel, accommodation, and living expenses as well as visa costs where applicable. Priority is given to representatives of UICC member organisations from low- and middle-income countries. Through its Scholarships initiative, UICC aims to enhance equity and diversity at cancer control events, both in participation and in the views represented in discussions and content.

Overall, 86 scholarships were awarded in 2025 to 80 individuals across 49 countries to support their participation at eight different events, including two UICC-led events: the inaugural Cancer Planners Forum in Geneva in May and the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit in Melbourne in November. Other events included the 2025 Global Cervical Cancer Elimination Forum in Bali, Indonesia, WHO Regional Committee Meetings for the African, Eastern Mediterranean, and Western Pacific regions, and the International Conference on Cancer in Africa (AORTIC) in Tunisia in November.

It is also important to note that through the initiative and support of the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM), UICC was able to invite an additional 30 individuals from UICC member organisations in the region to participate in the National Cancer Congress in Kuala Lumpur in June 2025, receiving travel grants administered and funded by NCSM.

“Receiving this scholarship has been an incredible journey, one that has broadened my perspective, connected me with inspiring experts, and empowered me to contribute to impactful cancer control initiatives. The support has been truly transformative, opening doors I never imagined.”

Strengthening national advocacy

Throughout 2025, UICC has continued to support its members in national advocacy for cancer control. 91 individuals completed the Advocacy for Improved Cancer Control course, in either the live or self-paced format. It incorporated two newly launched resources linked to WHO frameworks: the Breast Cancer Advocacy handbook, developed in 2024; and the Cervical Cancer Advocacy handbook, launched in 2025. A Virtual Dialogue held in July marked the launch of the Cervical Cancer Advocacy handbook and showcased examples of UICC members advocating for cervical cancer elimination in different resource settings across the world. Both handbooks are currently available in English, French, and Spanish.

Following completion of the 2025 live advocacy course, UICC opened the call for applications for the Cancer Advocates Programme. The 2025–2026 cohort includes 18 new organisations from 14 countries across Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. Their advocacy projects address a wide range of priorities, including cervical cancer prevention and early detection, breast cancer screening, treatment and support, strengthening health systems, people-centred care, and the engagement of people with lived experience.

In parallel, UICC continued to implement dedicated advocacy projects through strategic partnerships. UICC completed a two-year partnership with L’Initiative to support civil society organisations in Francophone Africa. The programme culminated in a series of sessions to support organisational leadership, and in-person peer visits to foster exchange between members. To support civil society in the Indo-Pacific, in line with the Elimination Partnership in the Indo-Pacific for Cervical Cancer (EPICC) partnership, UICC provided different types of support fostering the development of regional relationships, valued particularly due to the isolated nature of their respective roles with starkly similar geographic contexts and challenges, and networking opportunities with other key partners. At the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit, three of these members spoke on a panel about addressing cancer, notably cervical cancer, in small island states.

In East Africa, UICC and Cancer Research UK continue to support coalitions of civil society organisations in advocating for tobacco control, with significant wins in both Uganda and Kenya in 2025.

“It was a pleasure to take part in the advocacy session, we learned a great deal about fundraising. Following the training, we adjusted our approach and were able to secure two grants from ABC Global Alliance. I also drew on my own lived experience expertise as a former cancer patient to adapt our pitch and create impact.”

Ibrahima Madougou Moubarak, Founding President, Ligue Nigérienne de Lutte contre le Cancer, Niger

Fellowships

The 2025 call for UICC Technical Fellowships was open between JuneAugust, including the French and Spanish sub-programmes for Francophone Africa and Latin America. A total of 110 applications were received from 37 different countries.

31 fellowship awards were made to applicants from 23 countries, with Fellows hosted by 18 institutions across 11 countries. More than 50% of fellowships involved UICC member organisations as the home or host institution, and 35% of awarded Fellows are employed by UICC member organisations.

In collaboration with two UICC member and partner organisations, National Cancer Center Korea and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, eight fellowships were awarded to visit these leading comprehensive cancer centres. Additionally, nine Fellows will visit IARC in Lyon, partly through the UICC-IARC Development Technical Fellowships.

As part of the dedicated and long-term partnership with UICC Japan, four YY Study Grants were also awarded in 2025 to researchers from Argentina, India, Nigeria and Pakistan wishing to visit Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The annual YY Study 2025 Grant call closed on 17 November, with 15 applications received. Awards will be attributed in early 2026.

“My fellowship experience will equip me with advanced record linkage methodologies and practical insights into integrating screening data with cancer registry systems. These learnings will directly strengthen data quality, early detection efforts, and evidence-based decisionmaking at the Lilongwe Cancer Registry—ultimately contributing to more effective cancer control strategies across Malawi and the region.”

World Cancer Leaders’ Summit 2025

Leaders and senior executives of UICC full members were invited to attend the 2025 World Cancer Leaders’ Summit, which took place from 18 to 20 November in Melbourne, to explore opportunities for ‘Bridging Divides, Building Futures’. The Summit brought together over 408 leaders from 55 countries, including UICC partners and member organisations such as cancer societies, research and cancer centres, and professional associations, to encourage timely debate on emerging global issues in cancer control. It was co-hosted by Cancer Council Victoria, the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre Alliance, the Monash Comprehensive Cancer Consortium, the McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer, and the Melbourne Convention Bureau, continuing Australia’s longstanding commitment to supporting progress and collaborations on cancer control.

Ulrika Årehed Kågström, UICC President, opened the Summit and welcomed delegates, acknowledging the challenging geopolitical and social context, while emphasising that this uncertainty must not be interpreted as a lack of progress or hopelessness. Instead, she highlighted the negotiation of new global targets on noncommunicable diseases and the strengthened focus on cancer within the draft UN Political Declaration on NCDs and Mental Health as evidence of continued governmental commitment to cancer control. As the cancer community looks to implement the Political Declaration, she stressed the need for accountability and collective action. To support this, she highlighted the launch of the World Cancer Declaration 20252035, which consolidates insights from more than 100 UICC member organisations into a shared framework for action.

“Let us take the momentum from Melbourne and transform ideas into action. Our responsibility is now driving innovation, advancing equity, and delivering meaningful progress for every community we serve.”

“This is our moment to accelerate progress together, to connect, collaborate and elevate our ambition to match the scale of the challenge. The path in cancer control is not always smooth, and we may need to shift gears, but momentum is on our side. Powered by new knowledge, innovation and shared purpose, we can turn opportunity into lasting change and ensure that no one, anywhere, is left behind.”

“As a first time participant at the Summit, it was an honour to represent my small Pacific island nation. I was struck by the progress made in higherincome countries, yet it became clear that many of our challenges remain the same. With Australia as host, it was an important opportunity to put Pacific realities and the unique obstacles our island states face centre stage. My three days at the Summit prompted a fresh reflection on the direction of the Fiji Cancer Society for 2025 and reinforced a shared conviction among colleagues from Samoa, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea: no island state should be left behind. Equity in Pacific cancer care is non-negotiable.”

World Cancer Declaration

The World Cancer Declaration 2025-2035 was successfully launched at the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit in Melbourne after a series of engagement opportunities with members that began at the Summit in Long Beach in 2024. UICC President Ulrika Årehed Kågström presented the updated World Cancer Declaration , highlighting its ‘5x5x5’ agenda endorsed by member organisations from around the world. A subsequent member panel on regional perspectives showcased how the Declaration supports real-world progress. Across regions, speakers affirmed the Declaration’s role in promoting accountability, shared targets, and collaborative innovation. Closing the Summit, the UICC President underscored the importance of global unity amid uncertainty, and encouraged participants to use the Declaration as a catalyst for international collaboration and national-level action.

Member engagement in 2025

In 2025, UICC has tracked individuals and organisations that were engaged or supported through the work outlined in this report. In total, 2,109 individuals from over 1,100 organisations across 156 countries were engaged, of which 1,179 individuals (56%) and 405 organisations (36%) were UICC members. Whilst member organisations may have had multiple touch points with UICC during a year, most of these member organisations have been supported via the learning and development opportunities provided, with 356 organisations reached through these activities alone.

The regional spread of the member organisations engaged was as follows:

“The support of the UICC empowers us to share our insights on the world stage, establishing our organization as a recognized thought leader and a peer among global institutions. This significantly enhances our reputation. Through sustained collaboration with aligned partners, we access cutting-edge knowledge, benchmark against the best, and systematically build our capabilities. In the end, this global engagement is itself a powerful form of leadership development, fostering greater confidence, cultural intelligence, and a forwardthinking, strategic outlook.”

In terms of membership type, the full and associate members engaged in 2025 represent over half (59%) of the UICC membership in 2025.

Increasing attention on people-centred care

In 2025, UICC consolidated and strengthened its focus on peoplecentred care, reflecting the strategic organisational priority in the Business Plan 2026-2028 and in line with related targets in the new World Cancer Declaration. This thematic alignment brings together long-standing efforts to support patient groups, elevate the voices of people with lived experience, advocate for equitable access, and reinforce synergies with the World Cancer Day campaign ‘United By Unique’. UICC leveraged the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit to highlight the topic with a dedicated peoplecentred care session designed to explore what people-centred care means both in practice and in policy.

In addition, UICC supported advocacy efforts on people-centred care through its work with members, including advocacy priorities such as integrating expertise from people with lived experience into health decision-making, mobilising youth and communities, increasing health literacy, and reducing stigma.

Group Mentoring programme: Progress and impact

Throughout 2025, UICC continued to provide support and platforms for patient groups in its network to share progress and exchange experiences. The programme also continued to contribute to the growth and diversification of UICC’s membership, with two new organisations joining the African cohort. Throughout the year, member organisations achieved recognition for their work, including the Global Breast Cancer Organizations Alliance being presented with the Gold ‘Champion of Good Award’ recognising excellence in mental health support for breast cancer patients.

Results from the end of year survey highlight the programme’s strong impact on collaboration, capacity building, and leadership visibility.

→ 89% of respondents reported increased collaboration with the regional cancer community, while 81% indicated strengthened organisational and technical skills.

→ 67% reporting greater collaboration with the global cancer community.

→ 65% noted increased recognition of their senior executives as leaders within the cancer control space.

In 2025, 23 patient organisations were awarded scholarships to attend WHO Regional Committee meetings, AORTIC, and the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit enabling patient representatives to contribute their expertise directly to high-level discussions and programme sessions. The value of this approach was formally recognised by the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, following the Regional Committee meeting, which acknowledged the impact of scholarship support provided to patient groups as part of UICC’s delegation in bringing recognition and ensuring representation of lived experience in this forum.

To further amplify the impact of patient-led initiatives aligned with the World Cancer Day campaign, five grants were awarded in 2025 to organisations in Morocco, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Philippines. These initiatives used storytelling, training, and creative community events to raise awareness and advocate for improved, people-centred cancer care.

World Cancer Day

4 February

The first year of the three-year World Cancer Day campaign ‘United By Unique’ was a great success, demonstrating how deeply the new theme resonated with people in all countries. The campaign was created together with and for UICC members. It calls for a fundamental shift in cancer care and health systems worldwide towards a people-centred approach, which is oriented around individuals and communities instead of just the disease.

Every experience of cancer is unique, and it takes everyone, united, to create a world where care and support is personalised, compassionate, and accessible to all. The campaign explores different dimensions of people-centred cancer care and new ways of making a difference. UICC invited individuals from all walks of life to share their personal cancer stories to showcase real experiences with unique perspectives. Whether it is someone living with cancer, a family member, a caregiver, a medical professional, an advocate, or an ally, these stories show different people’s experience with cancer, the diverse challenges each faces, and how a people-centred approach to care could respond to their unique situations.

By bringing these stories together, the campaign built a rich collection of voices that serves as a striking illustration of what is meant by ‘United by Unique’: every person is one-of-a-kind, but no one is alone in their aim to take meaningful and lasting action to reduce the burden of cancer. It’s about recognising and validating each unique experience, and fostering a sense of community and shared purpose among those affected by cancer.

World Cancer Day 2025 generated high levels of engagement, with communities, organisations, and individuals embracing the campaign and adapting it to their local contexts in inspiring ways. Events took place around the world, including walks, talks, panel discussions, sales, petitions, workshops, and illuminated landmarks. Across countries, individuals and organisations celebrated the progress made and called for further efforts in cancer control.

Increasing attention on women’s cancers

Hospital Moinhos de Vento

In 2025, through UICC’s work on women’s cancers, 238 organisations and 353 individuals were engaged across the membership, reflecting the strong representation in UICC’s membership of organisations interested in this area, and the commitment to advancing breast and cervical cancer control globally.

Sustained advocacy efforts

UICC continued to play a central role in advancing breast cancer advocacy globally, working in close collaboration with WHO through its participation in the Global Breast Cancer Initiative Technical Working Group. This collaboration supported the co-development of key resources, notably a new policy brief on breast cancer, published during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, developed with the support of leading experts. The brief provides ministries and advocates with practical policy options to strengthen national strategies on breast cancer. UICC’s advocacy efforts also contributed to securing the inclusion of breast cancer in the 2025 UN Political Declaration on NCDs and Mental Health, following sustained engagement with members and diplomatic missions to strengthen the visibility of women’s cancers in global commitments.

On cervical cancer, UICC strengthened its support to advocates with the update of the Cervical Cancer Advocacy Handbook. Published in April, the handbook provides civil society organisations with practical guidance to translate the WHO Global Strategy’s 90-70-90 targets into effective national advocacy, offering adaptable messaging, coalition building tools and context-specific strategies for prevention, screening and treatment. It is available in English, French and Spanish.

Through its role in the Elimination Partnership in the Indo-Pacific for Cervical Cancer (EPICC), UICC worked with civil society across many Pacific island countries such as Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, and Timor-Leste to support national advocacy efforts on cervical cancer. Organisations benefitted from tailored opportunities, including scholarships, networking, and mentoring, and received access to key advocacy resources.

Providing this support as part of the wider consortium of organisations in EPICC is bringing other opportunities to these civil society organisations, with the collective and coordinated efforts of all involved creating an optimal environment for progress towards elimination. Supported by Expertise France, UICC also continued to provide support to a group of civil society organisations in Francophone Africa on cervical cancer advocacy, following its work in prior years as part of the Unitaidfunded SUCCESS project, which was led by Expertise France and implemented in partnership with Jhpiego.

Supporting national-level implementation

Throughout the year, 10 UICC member organisations were supported via grants to implement projects to scale up access and increase uptake of HPV vaccination in their contexts. In total, UICC disbursed USD 200,000 to the grantees, who collectively achieved substantial reach and measurable progress. Their achievements further demonstrate the critical role of civil society in expanding HPV vaccination access, demand generation, awareness-raising, and driving progress toward the 90% vaccination target.

In addition, through the Reimagining Cancer Research in Europe initiative, UICC continued to support a collaborative implementation research project to support the use of HPV self-sampling in Ukraine to enhance cervical cancer screening given the conflict situation. Via the ATOM Coalition (see later), UICC has also enabled increased access to breast and cervical cancer diagnostics and treatment through its access pathways, and responded to country needs to strengthen breast cancer treatment, including the updating of clinical guidelines in Mongolia.

Learning and development

More broadly, UICC delivered dedicated training opportunities for civil society organisations working on women’s cancers. As part of this effort, a dedicated storytelling programme for 11 champions in women’s cancers (primarily focused on cervical cancer) strengthened their ability to communicate compelling narratives that drive advocacy, community mobilisation, and policy influence.

UICC also provided tailored mentoring in organisational leadership to selected member organisations engaged in women’s health. Building on UICC’s self-guided course ‘Management essentials for civil society organisations’, 12 organisations were selected to receive one-to-one mentoring from Stone Soup Consulting to strengthen leadership, governance and management practices.

An online course on ‘Women, power and cancer’ helped professionals better understand how gender and power dynamics shape cancer risks, access to care, workforce equity, and policy influence. Based on the findings of the Lancet Commission on ‘Women, power and cancer’, and developed with the McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer and members of the Lancet Commission, the course equipped participants with practical approaches to integrate a gender lens into cancer advocacy, planning and service delivery.

The inaugural edition brought together 87 professionals in a live format, creating a global community committed to advancing gender-responsive cancer control. Following this, the course was transformed into a self-guided course, now available on demand on UICC Connect.

UICC continued to offer foundational learning opportunities on the Global Breast Cancer initiative and the Global Strategy on cervical cancer elimination. In 2025, these were enriched with additional content on patient navigation, and the Cervical Cancer Elimination Planning tool developed by IARC and the University of Sydney launched in May 2025.

Key events

UICC leveraged key events to bring attention to women’s cancers, including at the Second Global Cervical Cancer Elimination Forum in Bali. This high-level gathering, cosponsored by the Governments of Indonesia, Spain and Australia and organised in partnership with WHO, Gavi, Unitaid, UNICEF, the World Bank, the Global Financing Facility and the Gates Foundation, brought together governments, international agencies, civil society and other stakeholders to accelerate action towards the 2030 targets for cervical cancer elimination. UICC led a session focused on advocacy, underlining the central role of civil society in influencing policy, holding governments accountable and supporting sustainability, issued a formal statement to reinforce its institutional commitment to cervical cancer elimination, and supported the participation of advocates from civil society organisations, ensuring that the perspectives and priorities of local organisations were clearly heard in the global conversation.

At the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit, UICC convened a focused workshop on increasing access and uptake of HPV vaccination, gathering representatives from 11 countries, including a number of project grant recipients, to examine progress, persistent barriers, and effective strategies. UICC also led a multi-sponsored session on advancing cervical cancer elimination, which explored progress towards the 2030 targets, and highlighted country experiences from Sweden, Nigeria, Indonesia and Fiji. Complementing these UICC-led sessions, partners emphasised women’s cancers through several other sessions.

Alongside these in-person events, UICC strengthened knowledge exchange and peer learning on women’s cancers particularly through a series of virtual events. Virtual Dialogues provided platforms for member organisations to deepen expertise and access practical tools. In April and May, sessions addressed priority needs identified by members: the first focused on breast cancer advocacy, supporting organisations to leverage the newly released Breast Cancer Advocacy Handbook; the second, delivered in partnership with Gavi, titled ‘Navigating Gavi: Supporting civil society organisations in advancing access to HPV vaccination’, directly responding to gaps highlighted in the 2023 landscaping study on the role of civil society organisations in HPV vaccination. Aligned with the publication of UICC’s updated Cervical Cancer Advocacy Handbook, a third global Virtual Dialogue, ‘Advocacy to Action: The role of civil society in cervical cancer elimination’, brought together UICC President Ulrika Årehed Kågström and civil society leaders from New Zealand and Malawi, enabling cross-regional reflection on effective advocacy approaches. Complementing these sessions, a UICC Connect Live event spotlighted lived experience and showcased the work of member organisations active in breast cancer, fostering community connection and peer learning during Breast Cancer Awareness month in October.

“Breast cancer is not only a health challenge; it is a societal and economic test that demands coordinated action across policy, care delivery, data, and financing. By working together, governments and partners across Southeast Asia can close long-standing gaps, strengthen solidarity, and build systems capable of giving every woman equitable access to timely diagnosis and treatment.”

In memory of Ivone (1963-2025)

Improving health systems for cancer control

Cancer Planners Forum

National public health officials responsible for designing and implementing national cancer strategies and other health officials from around the world met in Geneva on 14-16 May for UICC’s inaugural Cancer Planners Forum. The event brought together more than 100 participants, including cancer planners from 40 countries – most of them from ministries of health – as well as representatives from WHO, IAEA, IARC, the International Cancer Control Partnership (ICCP), and other partner organisations.

Held just ahead of the World Health Assembly (WHA), the Forum focused on practical ways to improve cancer control plans used to guide cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care at the national, regional, state, and city levels.

The event programme comprehensively addressed the entire cancer planning process: setting objectives and identifying priorities, costing and financing, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and engaging stakeholders. The event further highlighted the essential collaboration between international bodies and cancer organisations, and encouraged cross-border interactions as well as peer-to-peer support.

Participants engaged in rich discussions on national cancer control planning within the broader context of health systems, with a focus on advancing equitable cancer care in the years ahead. Sessions combined expert presentations, country-led case studies, and interactive roundtable discussions to promote learning and practical exchange.

A key focus was the importance of robust national data collection and ensuring alignment with broader health policies and universal health coverage goals. The event fostered dynamic exchanges and encouraged participants to connect with peers and experts from around the world, sharing ideas, approaches, and lessons learned.

“The cancer burden is rising and we urgently need new, collaborative solutions grounded in strong research and knowledge exchange. Data and robust cancer registration systems play a vital role in national cancer control planning.”

“Even coming from a country with a well-established cancer control system, the Cancer Planners Forum offered fresh perspectives and meaningful dialogue. It was a reminder that no matter how advanced our programmes may be, there is always something to learn— from innovative approaches in other contexts to the resilience and creativity of planners working with fewer resources.”

“Some of the most well-written national cancer control plans have failed to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. With this Cancer Planners Forum, we mark a new era –one where success is not measured by printed words but by real impact and achievements.”

Ilbawi,

UICC supported national cancer control planning through coordinated technical assistance, convening, and policy-focused initiatives under the International Cancer Control Partnership (ICCP) and the Cancer Planners Forum.

The year started with the publication of the second Global Review of National Cancer Control Plans (NCCPs), published in The Lancet Oncology in January 2025, providing insights into the state of cancer planning worldwide.

Main conclusions from the review

→ There were improvements in some areas since the first review conducted in 2018. Notably, the inclusion of financing strategies in plans increased from 7% in 2018 to 27% in 2023.

→ Compared to the 2018 review, the 2024 analysis also showed significant progress in the specificity and integration of NCCPs. However, persistent challenges in resource allocation and equitable access to cancer services highlight the need for continued efforts to address these gaps.

→ Very few NCCPs included evidence-based recommendations for their strategies and interventions. Only 23% of NCCPs and 12% of NCD plans included an evidence base with references for some strategies, highlighting a significant area for improvement.

A highlight in 2025 was the launch of the redesigned ICCP Portal at the Cancer Planners Forum, a resource to support countries in strengthening their cancer control strategies. The platform is designed to foster knowledge exchange, promote evidence-based planning, and connect planners with practical solutions and global expertise.

Through the ICCP, technical assistance was delivered across multiple regions, including completed reviews of seven national cancer control plans (NCCPs) and the publication of additional reviews on the ICCP portal. Peer-to-peer learning was further strengthened through the ICCP ECHO programme, supporting six country teams via monthly sessions.

UICC also contributed to systems-level impact through the ATOM Coalition, finalising Mongolia’s country action plan to address barriers to access to cancer medicines and strengthen digital monitoring aligned with the national NCCP.

Advocacy efforts reinforced the role of NCCPs as a foundation for sustainable cancer financing and health system strengthening, complemented by national-level engagement through the Cancer Advocates programme, which continued to build civil society capacity to influence policy, monitor implementation, and engage in NCCP processes.

Addressing the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance

Addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in cancer care emerged as a growing priority. UICC contributed to strengthening global awareness, policy engagement, and evidence-based data on the growing threat of AMR on effective cancer care. It notably elevated AMR within cancer policy dialogues through high-level side events held at the World Health Assembly (WHA) and the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), a dedicated virtual dialogue, and sustained visibility across global conferences. This contributed to the explicit inclusion of cancer and AMR in the 2025 Political Declaration on NCDs and Mental Health.

Analytical work on the economic and health impact of AMR in cancer care was initiated to strengthen the investment case for infection prevention and access to effective antimicrobials for effective infection management. To support policymakers and the oncology health workforce, UICC published several key resources, including policy briefs for the oncology health workforce, “Addressing antimicrobial resistance in cancer care: the critical role of the cancer health workforce” and a resource for cancer planners and the cancer community, “Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance in Cancer Care: A Review of National Cancer Control Plans and Policy Recommendations”. Two articles published in The Lancet Oncology in May further amplified the urgency of integrating AMR considerations into cancer control strategies. The launch of the ICCP resource page on Cancer and AMR provided countries with practical tools to embed infection control and AMR strategies into national cancer control planning.

Engaging members and stakeholders in national cancer planning

UICC engaged members as active contributors to national cancer planning, policy dialogue, and implementation. Member expertise was mobilised through targeted policy outputs and global convenings, including a Pink October policy brief on equitable access to breast cancer care and dedicated NCCP-focused sessions at major events such as the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit and the AORTIC Conference. These platforms facilitated peer exchange, regional learning, and alignment between global guidance and countrylevel realities.

Building capacity for cancer registries and surveillance

UICC continued to support strengthened cancer data systems through collaboration with partners on cancer registries and surveillance. Key contributions included participation in the Global Survey of Registries, generating global insights into data challenges and needs, and ongoing capacity building through technical fellowships and training initiatives. These efforts supported LMIC professionals to apply epidemiological methods and strengthen the use of national cancer data for planning and policy.

Increasing access to medicines and technologies through the ATOM Coalition

Gavi/2025/Ajay Maharjan

2025 marked a year of consolidation and scale for the Access to Oncology Medicines (ATOM) Coalition, a UICC-led multi-stakeholder partnership working to expand equitable access to qualityassured cancer medicines and diagnostics in low- and lower-middle-income countries by addressing barriers across the oncology access continuum. Building on foundations laid since its launch in 2022, the ATOM Coalition advanced practical, country-centred solutions that move beyond commitments toward delivery –strengthening readiness, expanding access pathways, and deepening collaboration across governments, industry, technical agencies, and civil society.

Expanding access to cancer medicines and diagnostics

The ATOM Coalition made concrete progress in operationalising multiple access pathways –including indirect commercialisation, voluntary licensing, donation-based models, and pooled procurement – with 37 quality-assured medicines and 10 diagnostics available through Coalition pathways, of which 34 medicines are on the WHO Essential Medicines List and three are innovative therapies. Access expanded across countries, with five countries now purchasing medicines, and two innovative medicines newly available on NCDconnect. Overall, medicines delivered through ATOM Coalition pathways reached close to one million doses in 2025, representing an estimated 11,000+ patients reached based on standard treatment assumptions.

The Coalition also advanced several important proof-of-concept initiatives. This included further progress on the nilotinib voluntary licence as the ATOM Coalition’s first oncology licensing model. The Coalition helped build the systems and partnerships needed for countries to access, receive, and use quality-assured generic nilotinib for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), while also generating important lessons for future licensing approaches in oncology.

In parallel, the ATOM Coalition secretariat worked with BMS to expand access to nivolumab in eight countries – Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Kenya, Pakistan, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia – while also beginning to test a scalable model for strengthening health system readiness to receive and use immunooncology products in five countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia.

The ATOM Coalition also successfully negotiated access to precision and mRNA based cancer diagnostic tests. ATOM Coalition partner Cepheid, a diagnostics company, agreed to offer cancer diagnostic and monitoring cartridges to all 46 ATOM Coalition countries at a global access price ex-factory of USD 50 per test. These tests cover chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), cervical, and bladder cancer. Complementing improved access to medicines with the diagnostics needed to guide and monitor treatment represents an important step towards more complete cancer care.

Country implementation and capacity strengthening

Building on the momentum established in 2024, the ATOM Coalition significantly advanced its country engagement and capacity-strengthening model across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. What began with early partnership formalisation and situational analyses in countries such as Mongolia, El Salvador, and Zambia evolved into more concrete implementation planning, technical prioritisation, and targeted support. The Coalition continued to formalise collaboration with Ministries of Health and national cancer institutions, deepen baseline assessments of regulatory, supply chain, pathology, and clinical readiness, and align country support through workshops and multistakeholder consultations. These efforts further reinforced the Coalition’s countryled, demand-driven approach and helped refine the operational model for broader scale.

In Mongolia, progress moved from assessment and prioritisation to implementation readiness: the revision of national breast cancer guidelines was completed in line with ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) recommendations, including an updated list of recommended medicines incorporating innovative therapies.

Building on this, a Multidisciplinary Cancer Management Course was developed with ASCO to support dissemination and practical uptake of the revised guidelines. In El Salvador, the situational analysis process culminated in a completed three-year action plan focused on biosimilar regulation, hospital registry data quality, and pathology capacity, with implementation activities now being developed alongside Coalition partners. Zambia moved beyond baseline assessment to complete national laboratory infrastructure mapping using the ASCP (American Society for Clinical Pathology) benchmarking tool, laying the groundwork for pathology guidelines, workforce certification, and better equipment allocation, while also beginning work with the Ministry of Health to strengthen oncology medicines forecasting.

The Coalition also expanded into new and more advanced phases of engagement in other countries. In Uganda, the team secured government commitment to formal collaboration through the Memorandum of Understanding process and prepared to launch the situational analysis and national workshop in 2026.

In Indonesia, a collaborative agreement was signed with the National Cancer Center, Dharmais Cancer Hospital, to strengthen access to quality-assured CML medicines, diagnostics, and monitoring tools, with priority barriers already identified and validation of capacitystrengthening activities underway. Across five countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the ATOM Coalition developed a regional capacity-strengthening plan to support the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors, including work on diagnostics, appropriate clinical use, financing, patient tracking, and monitoring and evaluation; readiness assessments were completed in Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia. Initial engagement also began in Honduras, while in Ethiopia high-level discussions advanced on both CML and immuno-oncology readiness. Together, these developments show how the ATOM Coalition’s capacitystrengthening model continued to mature in 2025 – moving from early proof of concept to more structured, countryspecific implementation and regional scale-up.

Health financing

In Zambia, ATOM advanced two health financing technical assistance projects, both expected to conclude in Q1 2026. The first focused on improving the timely and cost-effective procurement of oncology medicines, including assessment of a potential pooled procurement model. Findings shared with the country coordination mechanism in November showed progress in forecasting but also highlighted persistent gaps in budget planning and procurement, contributing to an estimated annual funding shortfall of USD 6 million for oncology medicines. A complementary assessment by IDA Foundation found that pooled procurement through NCDconnect could generate nearly USD 900,000 in savings in 2025, equivalent to around 19% savings for the Ministry of Health, creating opportunities to reinvest in additional medicines and diagnostics.

The second project supported the Cancer Diseases Hospital in designing more sustainable financing mechanisms for equitable access to innovative cancer therapies, with a particular focus on immune checkpoint inhibitors. The design of a revolving fund model combining private insurance contributions and, over time, public financing was completed, with implementation planned for 2026.

Increasing attention on lung cancer

The adoption of the WHO Integrated Lung Health Resolution at the 78th World Health Assembly (WHA) in May 2025 represented a major milestone for global lung cancer and lung health advocacy. This achievement followed two years of sustained engagement with Member States and UICC members. Throughout the negotiation process, UICC played a visible and consistent role in convening stakeholders and ensuring that lung cancer was strongly reflected in the final resolution, which encompasses several communicable and non-communicable lung diseases.

During WHA, UICC co-hosted a high-profile side event with the Malaysian Ministry of Health, which spotlighted the importance of integrated approaches to lung health across the continuum of care. This event brought together Member States, UN agencies, and UICC members and partners to discuss practical implementation of the resolution at national level, reinforcing UICC’s role as a convener and advocate for evidence-based policy action.

UICC’s contribution to shaping global guidance also continued through its support to the IARC Handbook 21, which will provide evidence-based guidance on lung cancer screening.

This work is expected to inform national screening strategies and strengthen the global policy environment for early detection once the Handbook is released in Q2 2027.

Leveraging global events

UICC maintained strong visibility at major global events, including the World Conference on Lung Cancer, the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit, the 11th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP11) to the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), and the London Global Cancer Week – where UICC highlighted the need for multisectoral collaboration and the importance of moving from adoption to implementation of the resolution.

Member engagement on lung cancer significantly increased during the year. UICC launched a dedicated UICC Connect room to share knowledge and best practices, as well as strengthen collaboration among members working on lung cancer. This was complemented by a coordinated communications outreach aligned with key awareness dates –including World Lung Cancer Day and Lung Cancer Awareness Month – which helped amplify member activities and raise the visibility of lung cancer across UICC’s platforms.

Collectively, these activities contributed to greater awareness, stronger member collaboration, and improved knowledge exchange across the UICC and broader cancer control community, helping to drive global momentum on lung cancer and advocate for integrated lung health within the evolving global health agenda.

Tobacco control

UICC’s tobacco control advocacy centred on engagement in the WHO FCTC COP11, where UICC participated as an accredited non-government organisations observer and played an active role. UICC was joined by several member organisations as part of its official delegation – Breast Care International (Ghana), the Danish Cancer Society, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Norwegian Cancer Society, Cancer Survivors Malaysia, and the International Institute for Legislative Affairs (IILA, Kenya) – as well as its sister organisation, the McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer. Their participation ensured that diverse regional perspectives and country-level experiences were well represented.

To advance shared priorities, UICC led or co-hosted a series of side events focusing on key issues such as tobacco taxation, implementation of FCTC guidelines, and the integration of tobacco control within the broader lung health agenda. Over the course of the Conference, UICC jointly delivered seven statements, advocating inter alia for stronger liability mechanisms, more innovative regulatory measures, and reinforced protections from tobacco industry interference.

These interventions contributed to a cohesive civil society voice and helped maintain momentum on critical articles of the FCTC. UICC also contributed to preparation efforts for COP11, including an advocacy briefing meeting for Geneva based Permanent Missions to highlight policy asks and emerging risks.

Beyond global negotiations, UICC continued to strengthen tobacco taxation work with Cancer Research UK in Kenya and Uganda, where national coalitions made notable progress. Both coalitions conducted policy research assessing strengths and gaps in current tobacco control and taxation frameworks. In Kenya, several coalition members –including IILA and the Kenya Network of Cancer Organizations, UICC members - participated in a workshop on tobacco industry interference, enhancing their ability to identify and counter common industry narratives. In Uganda, coalition representatives – including the Uganda Cancer Society, a UICC member - took part in the University of Cape Town training on developing a TetSim Model to support stronger, evidence-based taxation proposals.

In April 2025, these efforts culminated in a unified civil society proposal submitted to Uganda’s Parliament, calling for the doubling of cigarette excise taxes, a singletier tax structure, and annual increases indexed to inflation and income levels. While the proposed doubling was adopted for imported cigarettes, tax adjustments on locally manufactured products remained limited, highlighting the need for continued advocacy. Both coalitions received support from UICC to strengthen communications and advocacy efforts, and to learn from other organisations. They developed their own communications and advocacy materials tailored to policymakers, media, authorities, and the public, helping to broaden understanding of tobacco taxation and its public health benefits. In addition, they convened stakeholder dialogues to raise awareness, strengthen national partnerships, and support coordinated action on tobacco control.

Air pollution

UICC advanced its work on air pollution and cancer, focusing on consolidating the evidence base and building its influence within global health and policy spaces. UICC notably developed two key reports, the core deliverables of the Clean Air Fund grant. The first report, developed with The George Institute and UICC’s Expert Taskforce, synthesises the evidence linking air pollution exposure with cancer incidence and mortality, aiming to provide an accessible entry point and key messages for cancer advocates. The second report builds on this evidence to outline practical policy options that UICC members and governments can champion to reduce air pollution and protect current and future cancer patients. Both are planned to be launched in 2026.

Alongside these technical outputs, UICC deepened its engagement with the global clean air community. UICC was invited to join a WHO-Civil Society working group to develop the call to action for the Second WHO Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health in Cartagena, Colombia, as well as attending the conference itself.

Building on these connections, UICC supported advocacy for the adoption of the updated WHO Roadmap on Clean Air at the World Health Assembly, including the new target of a 50% reduction in premature deaths from human-caused air pollution by 2040; alongside working with partners to secure clean air language in the 2025 Political Declaration on NCDs and Mental Health.

Increased impact for cancer control through multi-sectoral partnerships

UICC remains committed to building and nurturing mutually beneficial partnerships that amplify its impact and advance progress in global cancer control. It continued long-standing collaborations with partners such as Pfizer, AstraZeneca, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, MSD, and La RochePosay. UICC also welcomed new partners, including Novo Nordisk, Mayo Clinic, Novocure, and Regeneron. Over 80 partners contributed either financial or in-kind support to UICC in 2025.

The World Cancer Leaders’ Summit once again proved a key event on the calendar for companies and organisations, with new sponsors joining including Microsoft, Exact Sciences, IOZK and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

To continue building on existing partnerships and engaging new partners, in-person meeting opportunities were leveraged wherever possible to strengthen partnerships, with UICC representatives attending key events in the oncology and global health space, including World Health Assembly, ASCO, UNGA and ESMO.

Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) once again organised the C2C4C (Country 2 Country 4 Cancer and Continent 2 Continent 4 Cancer) rides in Europe and Latin America to raise awareness and funds benefiting UICC member organisations in these regions. For the first time in 2025, the C2C4C Japan edition also joined forces with UICC to support its members in the Asia Pacific region with 55 BMS employees cycling approximately 1,800 kilometres in a mountain loop through the heart of Japan, starting and ending in Tokyo. Together, these three rides, with BMS providing additional donations, raised over USD 700,000, going directly to UICC members in the respective regions to support locally delivered cancer control activities.

2025 saw the first of the three-year ‘United by Unique’ World Cancer Day campaign which was supported by longstanding World Cancer Day partners: Amgen, Boehringer Ingelheim, Fujifilm, La Roche-Posay, MSD and Roche. The campaign also welcomed new World Cancer Day partners: AbbVie, Jazz Pharmaceuticals and ONO Pharma.

Strengthening UICC’s work on cervical cancer, in 2025, UICC continued to receive support from key institutional partners, including Expertise France, the Gates Foundation and through the ‘Elimination Partnership in the Indo Pacific region on cervical cancer’ (EPICC) funded by the Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade of the Australian Government, and led by the University of Sydney.

The inaugural edition of the Cancer Planners Forum in May 2025 was strongly supported by UICC members and partners including MD Anderson Cancer Center, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, AstraZeneca, Pfizer and MSD.

Partner support for UICC’s Lung Cancer Collaboration continued to grow with partners Boehringer Ingelheim, AstraZeneca, Pfizer and MSD joining in 2025.

New partners Novo Nordisk Fonden and Menarini Stemline supported UICC’s work in Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) including a focus on incorporating AMR in National Cancer Control Plans (NCCPs).

“At Bristol Myers Squibb, we believe that sustainable healthcare systems depend on the ability to translate innovative science into meaningful, real-world outcomes for patients – especially those facing the greatest barriers to care. Achieving this requires collaborative approaches across sectors to strengthen health system resilience, improve access to care and ensure that biomedical advances deliver value for patients, communities and society.”

Martin Whalen, SVP, Global Policy & Government Affairs, BMS

“At Roche we recognise that no one organisation, company, country, intervention or individual can deliver this alone. That’s why we see partnerships with governments, public health authorities, advocacy networks, civil society and other stakeholders as vital to addressing current barriers to cancer care access and innovation.”

Michael Oberreiter, Head Global Access, Roche

“The 2025 UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs marked a pivotal moment for the global cancer agenda. World Cancer Research Fund International was proud to work alongside UICC and its partners to translate the moment into meaningful commitments to reduce cancer rates worldwide. Our collaboration with UICC in global advocacy, scientific initiatives such as the Reimagining Cancer Research in Europe Initiative, and knowledge exchange demonstrate what is possible when organisations align their expertise and advocacy towards shared goals. We look forward to continuing to build on our collective progress in the years ahead.”

Cancer Systems and Control for Health Professionals

In March, UICC announced the publication of Cancer Systems and Control for Health Professionals, edited by Meredith Giuliani, Mary Gospodarowicz, James Brierley, and Richard Sullivan. Published by Wiley, this landmark resource addresses the global challenge of cancer by advocating for a systems-based approach to its complexities. The book integrates perspectives from medicine, education, technology, public health, health policy, and advocacy, underscoring the importance of a comprehensive ecosystem in cancer care. It explores social determinants of health, health economics, and strategies for cancer control, while highlighting structural barriers to health equity. Furthermore, it examines the role of data management and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing in advancing cancer control. Designed for clinicians and researchers, this resource will serve UICC members and the broader cancer community.

TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours, 9th edition

July saw the launch of the TNM 9th edition edited by Drs James Brierley, Meredith Giuliani, Brian O’Sullivan, Brian Rous, and Liesbet Van Eycken. This edition introduces revised criteria and new classifications, reflecting advances in imaging, tumour biology, and patient care. It provides internationally agreed standards to support more accurate and personalised cancer treatment worldwide. In 2026, it will mark 58 years since its first publication by UICC.

International Journal of Cancer

The International Journal of Cancer published several special issues to coincide with milestone awareness days including World Cancer Day and Breast Cancer Awareness month. In 2025, IJC published 260 Open Access Articles, which is up 6% from 246 articles in 2024. The most highly read paper in 2025 was The GLOBOCAN 2022 cancer estimates: Data sources, methods, and a snapshot of the cancer burden worldwide, with 21,960 views. Since 2023, IJC has published articles from World Cancer Research Fund International’s Global Cancer Update Programme which analyses global research on how diet, nutrition and physical activity affect cancer risk and survival. A paper on Early-life anthropometry and colorectal cancer risk in adulthood was published in May. In 2026, the IJC will mark 60 years since the publication of its very first issue on 15 January 1966.

UICC members around the world

“It has been a great pleasure to serve as Treasurer of UICC in 2025. I am proud to be part of an organisation that demonstrates professionalism, transparency, and strong financial management in the way it conducts its work and manages its resources.”

In 2025, UICC concluded the year with a balanced budget, posting a small operational loss of CHF 38,000. These financial results were achieved with an increase in staffing from 44 to 47 FTE during the year. The financial stability, and the financial reserve position remained at a healthy level. In addition, UICC received a clean audit from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

It is worth considering UICC’s financial performance in the context of funding challenges experienced across international organisations and NGOs in Geneva in 2025. UICC is fortunate that the geopolitical issues affecting financial support to many Geneva organisations have not impacted it to date.
