INCTR: A Collaborative Network for Cancer Treatment and Research
INCTR is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization established in Brussels with the mission of improving the lot of cancer patients in developing countries. The INCTR main office is located in Belgium. It currently has branches in France, Brazil, Egypt, Nepal, UK and USA, as well as offices in Cameroon, India and Tanzania.
INCTR is acknowledged for its expertise in cancer control and cancer research in developing countries and in this respect works, on the one hand, with institutions (hospitals and cancer centers), and sometimes governments in developing countries and with a broad range of governmental (e.g., WHO and IAEA) and non-governmental organizations on the other. It adheres strongly to the principle that actions should be evidence based, and works directly with collaborators in developing countries to collect such evidence through surveys or clinical studies – the latter frequently bringing immediate benefits to patients while being associated with professional training as well as collecting new information relevant to the local situation.
