Cancer FUND

Together against cancer

Our vision is to defeat cancer. By funding the leading research, spreading knowledge about cancer and influencing decision-makers on important issues, we work to ensure that fewer people are affected and more people survive cancer.

The Cancer Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization without government support. Our work is entirely dependent on bequests and gifts from individuals and companies.

We are one of the largest financiers of Swedish cancer research. Since 1951, we have distributed close to SEK 16 billion to the leading research projects in Sweden. Cancer survival rates have more than doubled over the same period.

Thanks to the progress of research, today seven out of ten people who get cancer survive. We've come a long way, but we're not there yet.
