The mission of the American Cancer Society is to eliminate cancer as a major health problem.
Because cancer is a global health problem, this mission extends around the world. Cancer is increasing as a leading killer globally, especially in the developing world.
The American Cancer Society is emerging as a global leader in
addressing the growing cancer burden. We fight cancer through three
areas of global mission delivery: advocacy, capacity building, and
information.
