Addressing the global burden of cancer requires commitment to action across many domains of human activity. Key determinants of progress include improving health surveillance data, strengthening cancer research as well as building public awareness of the importance of cancer research. From their inception, the US NCI and NCI-designated cancer centres have been committed to helping build global capacity for cancer research and to work with researchers around the world to address key cancer research questions. Many NCI-designated cancer centres in the USA have made major investments over many years to build robust, bilateral cancer clinical research programmes that offer substantial research and programmatic and training benefits to the US partner and the low-income country partners.
