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.
