Cancer Research Malaysia

Cancer Research Malaysia Dedicated to Saving Asian Lives through impactful research. Your donation saves lives Today, we are a 40-strong team of researchers.

Cancer Research Malaysia was incorporated as company limited by guarantee in June 2000 with the support and donation from these key individuals and organisations: Tan Sri Azizan and Tan Sri Hassan Merican (PETRONAS), Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay and Mrs Leong Lim Siew Lian (Genting) and Lembaga Totalisator Malaysia. The Cancer Research Malaysia laboratory was established in Sime Darby Medical Centre (then known as Subang Jaya Medical Centre) in Jan 2001. With just a temporary laboratory of 700 sq ft and only 6 scientists, the first months were focused on establishing collaborations to begin Malaysian cancer research. In August 2002, Cancer Research Malaysia moved into a custom-made facility provided rent-free by Sime Darby Medical Centre and Cancer Research Malaysia was officially launched by the Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in October 2002. At the core is a series of programmes based upon areas of strategic importance to Malaysian cancer research: focusing on cancers which are more common in Asians and understudied (such as oral and nasopharyngeal cancer), focusing on finding ways to reduce the burden of common cancers such as breast cancer, focusing on genetic and environmental risk factors in Asians, and focusing on Malaysia’s rich biodiversity in search for a cure for cancer.

What does it take to help low-income patients access cancer care across Malaysia?

🎀 For our Head of Community Outreach, Dr Jananezwary Kanapathy, no two days are the same. It means early mornings on the road, endless conversations and connecting people across hospitals, research and leadership teams, and communities.

For many women, their chances of surviving breast cancer depend on where they live and how much they earn. Change is only possible when people show up to make it happen ⭐

CRMY 2025 in one word?

From packed event calendars to meaningful conversations with the public, 2025 was a year of showing up, again and again. Every shared story helped us reach more people and remind us WHY cancer research matters.

It was a year filled with learning, connection and collective effort, where every donation no matter the size, played a part in moving science forward. As the year comes to a close, we’re grateful for the community that walked with us, supported our work and believed in the power of consistency and care.

When we raise our voices, we create change 💪

🎶 Singer Ning Baizura () reflects on how music, joy, and even a little laughter can bring people together, breaking down the walls that isolate those living with cancer.

She hopes that together, we can continue to use our voices and platform to spread awareness, build understanding, and remind those around us that cancer is part of life, not something that should push people away.

As we wrap up 2025, let’s hold our loved ones close. Here’s to another year of meaningful connections and lasting impact! 💙

💙 Terry Fox’s Dream Knows No Borders

We were honoured to welcome Fred Fox to Malaysia, where he connected with the wider community, witnessing firsthand how Terry Fox’s legacy continues to inspire cancer research and collective action worldwide.

From touring CRMY’s labs to walking alongside staff and supporters in the true spirit of the Terry Fox Run, Fred’s visit was a powerful reminder that this legacy isn’t just remembered, it’s lived.

Decades on, the Terry Fox Run in Malaysia continues to fuel research, partnerships, and hope, carrying forward Terry’s mission to improve survival and quality of life for cancer patients everywhere.

Reversing cancer

Cancer Research Malaysia is a non-profit medical research organisation working to reverse cancer in as many ways as we can. In the world of cancer research, there isn’t enough focus on Asian genetics and the cancers more common here. First established as Cancer Research Initiatives Foundation by Tan Sri Tunku Ahmad Yahaya and Toh Puan Dr Aishah Ong, we changed our name to Cancer Research Malaysia in 2015 to reflect that we are no longer just an initiative, but we are here to ensure that the fight against cancer doesn't miss Asians, especially Malaysians. Our laboratory was established in Subang Jaya Medical Centre in Jan 2001. With just a temporary laboratory of 700 sq ft and only 6 scientists, the first months were focused on establishing collaborations to begin Malaysian cancer research. Today, we are a 50-plus strong team of researchers. At the core is a series of programmes based upon areas of strategic importance to Malaysian cancer research: focusing on cancers which are more common in Asians and understudied (such as oral and nasopharyngeal cancer), focusing on finding ways to reduce the burden of common cancers such as breast cancer, focusing on genetic and environmental risk factors in Asians, and focusing on bringing cures to Malaysians sooner.
