Research achievements
We’ve invested around £315 million in world-class breast cancer research. See the progress we’ve made.
We've already invested £315 million in world-class science. And we're not stopping now.
We're discovering how breast cancer grows and spreads. Finding ways to detect it earlier. And developing new and better ways to treat it.
Every day takes us closer to our vision - that by 2050, everyone with breast cancer will live and live well.
What we've done so far
-
Our research centre
We founded the UK’s first dedicated breast cancer research centre. So our scientists could take on the biggest challenges in breast cancer.
-
The Generations Study
Our Generations Study is one of the largest studies in the world into the causes of breast cancer. And it's already uncovered many risk fact...
-
Our biobank
We created the UK’s first national breast cancer biobank. So scientists can study the samples they need to perform world-class research.
Achievements in our key research areas
Prevention and early diagnosis
Uncovering risk factors. Predicting its spread. Quicker, earlier diagnosis. Because by taking on breast cancer early, we can save lives.
Better treatments
We're working to find new and better treatments. So more people with breast cancer live.
Secondary breast cancer research
We've been funding research into secondary breast cancer for over 20 years. And we’re not stopping there.
Improving quality of life
More people than ever before are living with and beyond breast cancer. We need to make sure everyone gets the best care and support.
