AACR's Mission

The mission of AACR is to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication, collaboration, science policy and advocacy, and funding for cancer research. We work to pursue these goals through our ten highly esteemed journals, scientific conferences, scientific policy and government affairs work, and funding of meritorious research. Founded in 1907, AACR is the world's first and largest professional organization dedicated to accelerating the conquest of cancer. AACR membership includes more than 50,000 laboratory, translational, and clinical researchers; other health care professionals; and cancer advocates residing in more than 129 countries.
