Working Together to Close the Global Care Gap

It is important to note that while we have made measurable progress, the global cancer burden is still significant and growing. One in two men and one in three women in the United States will develop cancer over their lifetimes. In 2023, it is estimated that more than 1.9 million patients will be diagnosed with cancer, and there will be more than 600,000 cancer deaths.

“It is increasingly clear to us that reducing the U.S. cancer burden is dependent on concurrent, coordinated strategies at the global level.”
