Although current studies have not yet led to an official cancer treatment, the WHO is advocating measures to combat cancer. According to experts, these measures should save 7 million lives. Aid is given to the poorest countries to set up services capable of carrying out the necessary follow-ups.

The WHO is also involved in various research programmes aimed at finding cures for cancer. Statistical data on cancer cases and treatments are collected by the WHO for appropriate action. WHO also plays a major role in improving the daily lives of patients through its messages of hope.
