World-class centres of cancer research excellence will accelerate the eradication of cancer

Almost everybody has experienced the tragic impact of cancer and the world is calling for the speediest possible eradication of cancer and its impacts on society.

We believe that ultimately, cancer will be eradicated as a result of research. And that this will require a collaborative and comprehensive effort.
