Several of the most frequent types of tumours (lung, mammary, uterine and colorectal cancer) can be prevented by behavioural changes and/or screenings. In view of the increasing costs of healthcare and labour shortage, cooperation across the entire continent of oncology treatment was needed.

Faced with funding problems in an area where more than 60% of the population has an incomes below the Confederation's breadline, the ASCCC began raising money to fund scholarships for people living with cancers in order to enhance their livelihood.
