MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Cancer affects us all, rich, poor, from all countries, colours and ages, there is no discrimination whatsoever. The statistics are not on our side. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. 1 in 500 children get some form of cancer and that figure terrifies me as a parent. It gets worse, 1 in 3 adults throughout the world contract cancer and that means that among those closest to me (including myself) some of us will get cancer. Ironically the longer we live the more tickets for this lottery we get. There are more than 200 types of cancer and some of them we know nothing about.
The good news is that because we know so much about the common forms, 1 in 4 people survive cancer. In fact we are so good curing some cancers that some people suffer for a second or third time in their lives and walking today we have people that have survived cancer more than once.
Here at Cancer Research International we are committed to improve survival rates, and therefore we have created collaborations with the best centers, universities and organizations in the world in order to make this happen. Today we are very proud to have gained the trust and partnership of Harvard, Baylor, Cambridge, Oxford, London, Barcelona, Paris, Edinburgh, Nottingham and others.
We are changing the future of Medicine forever because as yet, we are not at the pinnacle of our evolution.

Welcome to Cancer Research International

MISSION

 

The Mission of this project is very simple:

---

1. Create the World’s Leading Centre in Cancer Treatment and
2. Create the World’s Leading Centre in Cancer Research

Our love for Mexico made us form an organization named Cancer Research Mexico, which had the goal of eradicating this brutal disease in Mexico. It became clear early on that the project was to become bigger than any of us could have anticipated and that its benefits would go across frontiers. Thus, Cancer Research International was born
