Annual Report 2025
In 2025, UICC worked with its global membership to advance cancer control in an increasingly complex global health environment.
The 2025 UICC Annual Report highlights advances across key priority areas, including people‑centred care, women’s and lung cancers, national cancer control planning, and improved access to quality‑assured cancer medicines and technologies. It also showcases UICC’s convening role through global initiatives such as World Cancer Day, platforms for learning and collaboration, and high‑level events that bring together cancer leaders, policymakers and practitioners. Together, these insights demonstrate how collaboration, evidence‑based action and lived experience are helping to strengthen more equitable, resilient and sustainable cancer systems globally.
UICC thanks its partners for their valuable support and collaboration.
