Against Breast Cancer is a registered charity that funds unique research into breast cancer. Our aim is to find vital information to increase survival after diagnosis and ultimately to discover a vaccine against breast cancer.
Now the most common form of cancer in the UK, breast cancer rates have increased by more than 50% in the last 20 years. Each year more than 44,000 women will be diagnosed (that is more than 100 women a day), and 13,000 will die of the disease. It is the most common single cause of death amongst women aged 35-54 years; a staggering 1 in 9 women in the UK will develop the disease.
Against Breast Cancer’s team of researchers, based at University College London, is leading an innovative research programme which analyses how the cancer cell, patients' natural resistance and their environment interact. Our unique Diet & Lifestyle Study, working with women who already have breast cancer to find ways to maximise their survival, is taking place in 50 hospitals across the UK.
Our commitment to finding a vaccine against breast cancer needs more vital resources to help realise our dream of a future free of breast cancer - as soon as possible.
