Background

Why was GAFIO established

The global incidence of cancer continues to rise, both in high-income countries and, especially, in low- and middle-income countries. In 2020, there were approximately 19.3 million newly diagnosed cancer cases, and 10.0 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. By 2050, the number of cancer cases is predicted to increase 77% to 35 million cases. Meanwhile, the economic cost for cancer treatment and care has been escalating 6%-9% annually, standing at around US$550 billion as of 2020. Moreover, geographic and economic barriers result in significant disparities in cancer survival rates between high-, middle- and low-income countries, for instance 67% in the US, 50% in India, and as low as 30% in sub-Saharan Africa. The escalating cost and complexity of cancer treatment necessitate a radical transformation in cancer care.
