INCTR addresses all aspects of cancer control with the overall goal of lessening the morbidity and mortality from cancer in LMIC. It emphasizes training and education of health-care professionals in LMIC to ensure that "best practices" are instilled in cancer prevention, early diagnosis, treatment and palliative care. Research is an integral part of its work with its partners in LMIC in order to accurately document the cancer burden - including the types of cancer and extent of disease, the outcomes of prevention and early detection campaigns and the efficacy and outcomes of treatment, including cost-effectiveness. It also emphasizes public awareness of cancer, which is an essential component of early diagnosis. INCTR has a variety of programs that are conducted by its headquarters and or its branches as well as its partner institutions in developing countries.
