History[edit]
The journal was founded in 1947 by the then British Empire Cancer Campaign (later named Cancer Research Campaign),[1] one of the research charities which later merged to form Cancer Research UK. Cancer Research Campaign began partnering with Nature as publisher of the journal in the 1980s, but retained ownership and editorial control. In 2021, after the charity experienced a fall in charitable income during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cancer Research UK sold the journal to Springer Nature.[2]
