Research achievements
To date, we’ve invested around £299 million in world-class breast cancer research. See the progress we've made.
We're changing the future of breast cancer by funding ground-breaking research projects. Every day spent researching breast cancer is an opportunity to discover how to tackle secondary breast cancer, develop better treatments, prevent and diagnose breast cancer early, and improve people’s quality of life.
We all rely on the hope that our research brings; hope that there can be a better future for people diagnosed with breast cancer.
What we've done so far
The UK’s first research centre
We opened the UK’s first research centre dedicated entirely to breast cancer.
One of the world’s largest studies
We launched one of the world’s largest studies investigating causes of breast cancer.
The UK’s first national breast cancer biobank

Better treatments
For every case of breast cancer we can't prevent, we must stop it from taking lives. For that, we need kinder, more effective treatments.
-
Secondary breast cancer research
We've been funding research into secondary breast cancer for over 2 decades. See the difference it’s making.
-
Improving quality of life
More people than ever before are living with and beyond breast cancer. We need to improve the quality of life for all those affected.
