The mission of the National Cancer Institute -Cairo University (NCI) is proper control of cancer in Egypt through developing and maintaining integrated quality programs in patient care, research, education and prevention.
 

The NCI mission could only be accomplished by building and maintaining government and public trust and support, together with national and international cooperation to reach the state of the art in application of health care.

NCI is committed to the multidisciplinary approach in cancer management in which different treatment modalities cooperate rather then compete. Professional and public education is vital to solve the problem of the late presentation of patients.
