Why we do what we do

• Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths.
• Many cancers can be cured if detected early and treated effectively. [World Health Organisation]

“If we stop research entirely, if we never spend another dime on finding new cures, we could still save thousands more lives by doing just 1 thing: breaking down the barriers and sharing the knowledge that already exists,”

Dr Jill Biden, Biden Cancer Initiative, USA
