The World Cancer Research Fund is a London-based research services charity that investigates how diet, body weight, and physical activity influence cancer risk and survival. It supports its mission by funding life-saving research, shaping global public health policy, and educating the public, operating as part of an international network of charities since 1982. The organization translates scientific findings into practical guidance for researchers, policymakers, and the public. In 2026, it rolled out an update to its flagship policy tools to reflect evolving evidence and policy needs. In 2025, it partnered with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to launch a pilot program aimed at improving outcomes for individuals newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Through these activities, the World Cancer Research Fund sits at the intersection of cancer prevention research and policy advocacy, serving researchers, health professionals, policymakers, and the broader public.
