Global Collaboration Drives Innovation Against Cancer
JOIN US FOR OUR 2026 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
OUR MISSION
To foster global trans-disciplinary collaborations through education, research, treatment and community outreach to overcome cancer.
We empower professional partnerships that enhance cancer care and provide mentored training of the next generation of scientists and clinicians.
HOW WE STARTED
In 2020 …
Markey Cancer Center - Lexington, Kentucky, USA
formed the Global Cancer Consortium (GCC) with:
→ Tata Memorial Centre - Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
→ Manipal Academy of Higher Education - Manipal, Karnataka, India
→ Saroj Gupta Cancer Centre and Research Institute - Kolkata, West Bengal, India
→ Mayo Clinic Cancer Center - Rochester, Jacksonville and Scottsdale, USA
International Chapters
The growing number of academic activities of the Global Cancer Consortium required decentralization by forming Chapters in various continents.
The Chapters are financially autonomous, but philosophically aligned and operationally synchronized with one another and with the parent GCC.
The GCC Chapters further promote and nurture the cancer research, education and training programs of GCC.
The Chapters abide by the overarching principles of philanthropy, excellence and collaboration.
Consistent with this mandate, the following GCC Chapters were formed:
→ April 2023 - South Asia Chapter established in India
→ September 2023 - North America Chapter formed in the United States
→ January 2024 - East Asia Chapter formed and is led by the China Medical University, Taiwan.
→ April 2024 - Europe Chapter formed
→ April 2025 - West and South Africa Chapter formed

Our Courses
GCC-IC-OS Cardio-Oncology Certification Training Program
This collaborative initiative between the Global Cancer Consortium and the International Cardio-Oncology Society aims to deliver a comprehensive training program that blends pre-recorded expert-led lectures with case reviews, direct consultation with course directors and hands-on clinical mentorship ensuring a curriculum that meaningfully improves patient care.
Cancer Biology & Therapy Course
This comprehensive biology and therapy of cancer course includes lectures on the fundamental mechanisms of cancer development and key features of cancer therapies.
The lectures are presented by basic/translational science and clinical faculty.
Microbiology of Cancer Course
A Graduate Level Certification Training Program
The objective is to deliver a microbial perspective of cancer.
By delving into the pathogenesis and epidemiology of cancers associated with microorganisms, molecular biology of the infective agents, screening tools and procedures, prevention and therapeutic approaches in clinical oncology involving both conventional and experimental strategies to treat these tumors.
There will be discussions of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) tools and models that are integral for connecting the microbiome with cancer onset, progression, and treatment response.
Youth Science Program
In Partnership With St. Xavier College, Mumbai
Empowered Autonomous Institute
An inspirational series for college students.
The GCC Youth Science Program raises cancer awareness and fosters interest in biomedical research among undergraduate students at colleges and universities, while also offering continuing education for graduate and postgraduate students as well as medical residents.
Member Benefits
Membership is open to cancer centers and educational institutions in good standing with professional accreditation and individuals in the cancer research and education field.
