To relieve human suffering by pursuing excellence in the fight against cancer.

From its foundation in 1909 as a small research department of the Royal Marsden Hospital, the ICR has grown to become one of the world’s foremost independent cancer research organisations. The ICR is at the forefront of international cancer research and our reputation for high standards in all that we do is crucial to our success. As a charity we exist for the benefit of the public and there is a consequent public expectation of the highest ethical standards.
