Our Global Network is dedicated to funding research and health education programmes into the links between food, nutrition, physical activity, body fatness and cancer risk.
Mechanisms working group
The Mechanisms Working Group developed the process for exploring and summarising the experimental data and mechanisms involved in nutrition and the cancer process. The Mechanisms Working Group was chaired by Dr John Milner and consists of the cancer biologists from the individual systematic literature review centres.
