The World Cancer Research Fund global network

Cancer is a global disease, with some types more common in some parts of the world than others. Since its foundation in 1982 the WCRF global network has been dedicated to its mission of preventing cancer worldwide.

WCRF International is the not-for-profit umbrella association that leads and unifies our WCRF global network of cancer charities dedicated to funding research and education programmes into the link between food, nutrition, physical activity, weight maintenance and cancer risk. The national charities are based in the US, UK, Netherlands, Hong Kong and France.
