Established in 1962, the Fellowships is one of UICC's oldest and most established portfolio of programmes. Whilst it has developed and adapted over time, its objective remains the same, to strengthen the workforce capacity in cancer control by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, expertise and technical skills in cancer prevention, early detection and diagnosis, treatment and palliative care. UICC Fellowships also enable networking and collaboration across institutions and countries.
