Progressing towards the 2020 targets
- Through its member organisations, now more than 380 in over 170 countries, the Union for International Cancer Control will promote partnerships and international collaboration aimed at accelerating progress towards achieving the 2020 targets,
- Given the huge variability in cancer burden and service provision throughout the world, the UICC will encourage members to use the World Cancer Declaration as a template to develop regional or national cancer declarations that can better reflect local needs and priorities and allow for more accurate quantification of targets where data exists,
- UICC will take responsibility for preparing a report every two years on the progress made towards achieving the 2020 targets. These reports will be presented at the biennial World Cancer Congress.
