Cancer Research UK is the major funder of breast cancer research in the UK.

Thanks to research, the death rate from breast cancer has fallen by a fifth over the past decade. Now, more women than ever are surviving the disease.

Over the years we have supported many important research projects that have made a big difference to our understanding of breast cancer and the way it is treated.

Here are just a few examples of our progress:

• Understanding breast cancer
• Testing treatments
• Breast cancer screening
• Preventing breast cancer
• Improving quality of life
• Into the future
