"Cancerfondens vision är att besegra cancer. Genom att finansiera den främsta forskningen, sprida kunskap om cancer och påverka beslutsfattare i viktiga frågor, arbetar vi för att färre ska drabbas och fler ska överleva cancer. Cancerfonden är en fristående, ideell organisation utan statligt stöd. Vårt arbete är helt beroende av testamenten och gåvor från privatpersoner och företag. Vi är en av de största finansiärerna av svensk cancerforskning. Sedan 1951 har vi delat ut nära 14 miljarder kronor till de främsta forskningsprojekten i Sverige. Överlevnaden i cancer har mer än fördubblats under samma tid. Tack vare forskningens framsteg överlever i dag sju av tio som får cancer. Vi har kommit långt, men vi är inte framme än." https://www.cancerfonden.se/om-oss
