The majority of cancer research is conducted in the West, which has led to better treatments for Caucasian patients. Cancer Research Malaysia ensures that research is also conducted for Asians.
Empower lifesaving research — you can make a difference!
Today’s Research, Tomorrow’s Care
Through impactful research, we work towards the day when cancer is a disease that can be controlled and no longer feared.
Why Support Cancer Research?
Thanks to support from our donors, we can save more lives.
>130 Malaysians Are Diagnosed With Cancer Daily
In 2020, 49,000 new cancer cases were reported. By 2030, it is estimated that the figure of new cases yearly would hit 66,000. That is just 8 years from now.
30-50% Of Cancers Are Preventable
Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. However, between 30-50% of cancers are preventable by healthy lifestyle, public health measures and early detection, treatment and cure.
Reverse The Cancer In Asians
Asians make up nearly 50% of the global population, yet only 5% of genetic studies involve Asians. By funding cancer research, you help to empower Asians with proper screening and treatment, therefore improving survival rates.
How Are We Reversing Cancer?
Your contribution helps us reverse cancer.
01
Established in 2001, Cancer Research Malaysia is the only non-profit organisation in the country dedicated to the research of cancers that commonly affect Asians, especially Malaysians.
02
We focus on drug repurposing, as it would shorten the time and cost to bring these drugs to the patients who need it.
03
We work to close the care gap, because it’s unsustainable to develop new cures when most people struggle getting access to existing ones.
04
We train doctors and develop new tools to help patients and their families understand the complexities of genetic testing.
05
We partner with the best in the world and leverage on the best technology to get faster and more effective results.
06
100% funded by donations and grants, we will continue to ensure Asians are not left out in the global fight against cancer.
