Institut National du Cancer

The French National Cancer Institute (INCa) was established under the French Public Health Act of August 9, 2004, as the State health and science agency specialised in cancer control. The Institute operates under the supervision of the French Ministry of Health and Solidarities and the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation. It provides an integrated approach encompassing all cancer-control aspects (health, scientific, social and economic) and intervention areas (prevention, screening, care, research) to benefit patients and their relatives. The Institute is also a trusted source of evidence-based information, providing reliable advice on cancer control to government and guidance to health professionals and the community. The Institute drives the implementation of the French decennial strategy against cancer (2021-2030): it plays a pivotal role in maximising coordination amongst cancer control stakeholders to enhance impact.
