By 2050, cancer deaths worldwide will almost double.
You might not have heard of discovery research before, but without it there are no new clinical trials and no new cures for cancer. There has been a 25% decrease in funding globally since 2006.
Preventing cancer deaths from doubling by 2050 requires bold action and Worldwide Cancer Research do not accept mediocrity: we invest in research that takes intellectual risks and has the potential to profoundly advance our understanding of cancer. Our investment catalyses investment further along the research chain, turning pioneering ideas into new cures for cancer.
