Activities that fall under UICC's mission, vision and strategic objectives are:

• Strong membership base
• Knowledge transfer: platforms for communication and UICC flagship activities
• Capacity building: Collaboration and partnerships
• Global advocacy
  

Knowledge transfer includes both the international cancer fellowships programme and the TNM prognostic factors project.

UICC organizes the World Cancer Campaign and the World Cancer Congress.

On 4 February each year, UICC coordinates World Cancer Day.

The World Cancer Declaration, adopted at each World Cancer Congress, outlines specific actions the global cancer control community should take in the following two to three years.
