Progress in cancer research does not happen by chance. It happens when people come together — across borders, across disciplines — united by a shared belief that better outcomes are possible.
That belief is at the heart of the EORTC Cancer Research Fund (ECRF). Together with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), we turn generosity into discovery — and discovery into real impact for patients.
This year, as ECRF marks our 50th anniversary we celebrate what has been made possible — and invite you to help shape what comes next.
Since 1962, EORTC has:
- Enrolled over 220,000 patients in international clinical trials
- Supported 240+ researchers through global fellowship programmes
- Transformed how cancer is diagnosed, treated, and lived with across Europe and beyond
But these achievements did not happen alone. They happened because people like you chose to invest in hope, in science, and in patients they may never meet. With your support, we can accelerate the discoveries that will define tomorrow’s care — bringing better treatments, longer lives, and improved quality of life to patients everywhere.
Be part of the next chapter. Join us in shaping the future of cancer research.
Thank you.
