Our progress so far

Cancer Research UK funds the work of over 4,500 scientists, doctors and nurses in their work across the UK.

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
• Better treatments
• Preventing breast cancer

How our work is saving lives

Hundreds of thousands of women in the UK today are breast cancer survivors thanks to advances in cancer research – we've been at the heart of this progress.

Our research is helping people understand how their lifestyle can affect their risk of developing breast cancer.
