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 weight management.

In particular, WCRF International plays a leading role in directing and supporting the research activities of the WCRF global network.
