At Worldwide Cancer Research, we start new cures. Cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide, butcutting-edge science can give us hope.

We take an unbiasedapproach to research funding by focusing on supporting only the best ideas for new cures. By having a diverseresearch portfolio, we increase our chances of finding breakthroughs.
Our vision is of a day when no life is cut short by cancer, and we believe we can achieve this by starting thelife-saving advances of the future by sowing the seeds of discoveries. Anyone that helps bring forwardbreakthroughs – including our staff, our supporters, and the researchers we fund – is a Curestarter.
