Mission: Provide a voice for cancer surgeons to improve surgical care
for cancer patients through multidisciplinary clinical care, education, research, outreach, advocacy and leadership on
the global stage.

The Global Forum of Cancer Surgeons (GFCS) was formed in March of 2017 at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Surgical Oncology. GFCS was established to address the lack of adequate surgical care for cancer patients globally and create a framework to improve the delivery of surgical care to cancer patients through global collaborative efforts.

The Global Forum of Cancer Surgeons is currently made up of 15 global member societies who meet semi-annually and collaborate throughout the year to close gaps in resources and cancer care worldwide.
