Global Oncology is a U.S.-based nonprofit operating in the hospitals and health care sector, anchored in Oakland, California. It seeks to reduce cancer-related suffering worldwide by fostering bilateral collaborations between high-income and low- and middle-income countries, with a focus on strengthening local capacity for cancer care, delivery, and research in resource-constrained settings. The organization traces its origins to a collaboration among Harvard Medical School, the Harvard School of Public Health, and Harvard-affiliated hospitals, and it mobilizes a team of professionals and students to share expertise through training programs, events called GO Talks, and project work aligned with pressing needs.

Described as a nonprofit, GO positions itself as a facilitator within global oncology, emphasizing education and capacity-building rather than direct clinical services. Among its recent initiatives is the Cervical Cancer-Free Nigeria campaign, launched in December 2020 to educate the public about vaccine safety and efficacy with the aim of reducing virus-driven cancers. Earlier, in September 2018, it introduced the Global Cancer Project Map, an online resource designed to connect the international cancer community.
