The Cancer Mission offers funding for Cancer Research at several levels. The goal of the Mission on Cancer is to improve the lives of more than 3 million people by 2030, through prevention, cure and for those affected by cancer including their families, to live longer and better. The four Cancer Mission objectives are: Understand; Prevent what is preventable; Optimize diagnosis and treatment; Support quality of life. Its five transversal priorities are: ensure equitable access in all aforementioned areas, innovation, childhood cancer, personalized medicine and citizen engagement.
