Womb cancer is the fourth most common cancer in UK women, with around 9,300 cases diagnosed each year. Thanks to research, more than three-quarters of women diagnosed with womb cancer today now survive their disease for at least 10 years – but more work is needed to improve how the disease is diagnosed and treated to make sure more women with womb cancer live longer.
From studying the biology of womb cancer cells in the lab to leading clinical trials testing cutting-edge treatments, our researchers are working hard to ensure more women survive womb cancer.
Thanks to research, we’ve helped change the outlook for women with womb cancer.
Over the last 40 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970s just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive.
We want to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.
