Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR)

The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR) is a collaborative effort to improve the collection and analysis of cancer data worldwide. By helping countries develop better cancer registries—systems that track new cases and trends—GICR aims to provide accurate information for planning and assessing cancer prevention and treatment strategies. This initiative supports health resources, raises awareness, and fosters international cooperation, ultimately contributing to better cancer control and outcomes globally.
