The American Institute for Cancer Research is a small nonprofit organization based in Arlington, Virginia, focused on cancer prevention and survival research. As the U.S. charity within the World Cancer Research Fund network, it champions the latest scientific findings on how diet, weight, and physical activity influence cancer risk and survival, translating them into practical guidance for individuals. The organization participates in the Continuous Update Project, an ongoing global analysis of evidence linking lifestyle factors to various cancers, with the aim of helping people make informed lifestyle choices to reduce risk. It has contributed over $108 million to innovative cancer prevention and survival research conducted at universities, hospitals, and research centers. It provides evidence-based tools and information to help people lower their cancer risk, including its Recommendation for Cancer Prevention. In 2025, it expanded its public-facing collaboration by partnering with Pazazz Apple to highlight the potential anti-cancer properties of fiber-rich apples.
