Welcome to AICR

We fund cutting-edge research and give people practical tools and information to help them prevent – and survive – cancer. Scientists estimate that about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented by eating a healthy diet, being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight. Tobacco use is a separate risk factor that is itself responsible for one-third of all cancer deaths.
