The mission of the Foundation is to reduce the burden of cancer patients to a minimum, and to organize programs through community participation and in cooperation with other cancer-related institutions. Today, the ICF operates in all provinces of Indonesia.

'Cancer can be cured if detected at an early stage"

Cancer control has to be managed sector by sector, including the various aspects of life. Therefore, the ICF is doing its utmost to accommodate researchers, doctors, paramedics, social workers, educators, managers, communicators, as well as volunteers to jointly undertake the implementation of the Foundation's program.

Due to financial constraints, lack of infrastructure and human resources for carrying out its programs, presently the Foundation's main priorities cover ten types of cancer:

• Cervical Cancer
• Malignant Trophoblast
• Breast Cancer
• Nasopharyngeal Cancer
• Liver Cancer
• Lung Cancer
• Skin Cancer
• Leukemia
• Colorectal Cancer
• Malignant Lymphoma

These priorities were set on the basis of high rate of incidence, preventable, detectable or curable. The ICF's organizational structure consists of the following programs:

1. Professional Training
2. Research and Registration
3. Services and Rehabilitation
4. Public Education and Information
5. Organization and Chapter Development
6. Fundraising

An improvement in almost all fields are observed such as organizational, managerial, planning of major and minorwork programs, as well as supportive activities. Therefore, it is not easy to say which of the programs are more successful, since they are all intertwined and form an integral part of the whole set-up.

Our programs help save lives and improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their families.
