The International Network for Cancer Treatment and Research (INCTR) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 1998 by the UICC and the Institut Pasteur in Brussels in order to address a relatively neglected area in global health - cancer. The National Cancer Institute of the USA has agreed to assist the INCTR to achieve its goals by providing financial, technical and intellectual support. The INCTR, in turn, will assist developing countries through a structured program of research collaboration, education and training, to develop an increased understanding of the causes and predisposition to regionally important cancers, and to increase survival rates and the quality of life in patients with cancer. The INCTR is located at the Institut Pasteur in Brussels. It currently has branches in the USA, France, Brazil, Egypt and Nepal and offices in the UK, India and Tanzania. OBJECTIVES
1. To build capacity for cancer treatment and research in countries with
limited resources through long term collaborative projects coupled to training
and educational programs.
2. To promote international collaboration directed towards cancer control
between technologically advanced countries and countries with limited resources.
This will be accomplished through the development of networks and partnerships
with corporate, professional, academic, governmental and non-governmental
organizations which will bring their special expertise to bear upon all aspects
of cancer research and cancer control.
3. To take advantage of unique opportunities for cancer research in developing
countries.
