Our research is beating breast cancer

Unfortunately, breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK and around 46,000 new cases are diagnosed every year.

The good news is that the death rate for women with breast cancer has fallen by almost a fifth over the last decade.

Thanks to improved detection and better treatments, more people are beating breast cancer than ever before and now 8 out of 10 female breast cancer patients survive their disease beyond five years.

We can only continue our work with your help – join the fight for women's survival and help beat breast cancer.
