Our research is beating breast cancer
Unfortunately, breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK and almost 46,000 new cases are diagnosed every year.
The good news is that the number of women dying from breast cancer has fallen to less than 12,000 for the first time in almost 40 years.
Thanks to improved detection and better treatments, more people are beating breast cancer than ever before and now 8 out of 10 breast cancer patients survive beyond five years. We can only continue our work with your help join the fight for women's survival and help beat breast cancer.
