The missions of INCa encompass public health, research, care & patient’s life, and information to people & professionals. INCa’s ambition & commitment is to reduce mortality & morbidity from cancer, through coordinated programs, to better address health inequalities and to improve the quality of life of the patients during and after the disease. INCa conducts studies and survey, provides recommendations and guidelines, implements coordinated programs and supports activities following open & competitive calls for project proposals, and independent evaluation and selection.
