The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences provides research and development services on sciences. The non-profit company is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

The European Academy of Cancer Sciences is an independent advisory body of medical specialists and researchers. The Swedish company's mission is to create a continuum of cancer research, from basic research to evidence-based cancer care and prevention. The private company provides evidence-based advice to inform policy and organize their work through scientific committees gathered around priority areas across the cancer spectrum. The Academy has consulted a wide range of cancer research, policy, and care specialists and patient organizations to formulate consensus advice to the cancer mission board. The company reached the consensus view that a comprehensive translational cancer research approach that is focused on personalized/precision medicine and that covers the entire cancer research, cancer care, and prevention continuum has the potential to achieve in 2030 the goal of a 10-year cancer-specific survival for 75%% of the patients diagnosed with cancer in EU member states with a well-developed healthcare system.
