About Us

The International Cancer Information Service Group (ICISG) is an independent organization composed of Cancer Information Service (CIS) programs worldwide. Our mission is to assist organizations in providing high-quality information and resources on all aspects of cancer to those concerned or affected by cancer throughout the world.

The ICISG includes seasoned cancer communications experts who have been assisting cancer organizations across the globe in developing and expanding their cancer information services. These services are varied and include:

  • telephone and email help lines
  • websites and social media
  • in-person assistance
  • publications
  • audio, animated and video patient information content
  • outreach and education programs
  • research on how to communicate about health.

This assistance has been provided to health professionals, hospitals and clinics, community organizations, non-profit voluntary organizations, government programs and communications researchers. We have created the CIS Tool Box and the Assessment Tool for use by our members.  Please also view our Webinar which highlights these services.  

Founded in 1996, ICISG membership now includes more than 70 cancer information services from more than 40 countries throughout the world.
