The ICF, founded by ESMO
ESMO, the European Society for Medical Oncology, founded in 1975, is a globally recognized leader in the field of oncology.
ESMO’s commitment to advancing knowledge and expertise in cancer research and professional training spurred a desire to share these resources and bridge the gap in cancer care for underserved communities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
This ultimately led to the establishment of the International Cancer Foundation (ICF) in 2021.
Our Focus
Our focus is on advancing comprehensive cancer care, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment, follow-up and palliative care, for low- and middle-income countries and populations.
We do this by empowering and collaborating with local communities, caregivers, organizations, non-profits, governments and academia.
