How we work
A mission focused on increasing awareness, education and support.
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide (accounting for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018). In the UK alone, someone is diagnosed with cancer every two minutes. With your help, we can raise awareness of all cancers, highlighting the importance of self-examination, the different treatments, side effects and the options available. Cancer impacts us all, and our mission is to help shape a world where everyone has the best opportunity to survive cancer. World Cancer Care is supported by fully qualified medical professionals, enabling us to consistently and compassionately provide reliable advice, encouraging people to self-check and visit their GP if they have any concerns.
Hope, strength and encouragement: It all stems from sharing stories
Hearing about another person's cancer experience can be a source of support, comfort and inspiration for others going through cancer treatment. On our website, you will discover many personal stories from people affected by cancer and by sparking effective conversations and talking more openly about cancer, we can potentially save lives. World Cancer Care also regularly share educational resources to help people from all backgrounds gain a firm understanding of the importance of spotting cancer early and self-examination.
