Welcome to WCRF International
World Cancer Research Fund International (WCRF International) leads and unifies a global network of cancer charities dedicated to the prevention and control of cancer by means of healthy food and nutrition, physical activity and body weight.
In particular, WCRF International plays a leading role in directing and supporting the research and policy activities of the WCRF global network.
Working with researchers, health professionals, policy makers and other health organisations throughout the world, we provide people with the information they need to make choices that can reduce their chances of developing cancer.
