Our work in secondary breast cancer

Secondary breast cancer is where the cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. 

As the UK’s first comprehensive breast cancer charity, we’re here to provide support for today and hope for the future for everyone affected by secondary breast cancer.

Research on secondary breast cancer

Our scientists are working flat out to plug the critical gaps in our knowledge on secondary breast cancer. Our research projects are looking at different aspects of secondary breast cancer – from finding ways to stop breast cancer spreading to finding more effective ways to treat it.
