Mission
The Institute for Cancer Research is a private non-profit institution founded by the Fondazione Piemontese per la Ricerca sul Cancro-Onlus (FPRC) and operated by the Fondazione del Piemonte per l'Oncologia (FPO: a joint venture between the FPRC and the Regione Piemonte). It is the seat of the Department of Oncological Sciences of the University of Torino. Its mission is to make a significant contribution to fight cancer by understanding the basics, and by providing optimal diagnostic and therapeutic services. Both basic research and clinical research are actively performed, placing the Institute at the interface between molecular biology and medicine.

The FPRC provides enduring fund raising to complete the Institute’s buildings and to support basic research.
