About Cancer Research UK

Cancer Research UK is the world's leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. Join the fight for women's survival is our breast cancer campaign.

What we do

We support research into all aspects of cancer through the work of around 4,800 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK, to achieve our vision – together we will beat cancer.

Cancer Research UK is funding around 20 breast cancer clinical trials across the UK that are investigating new ways to prevent and treat the disease.

We work tirelessly to support our vision of beating cancer:

• We carry out world-class research to improve our understanding of cancer and find out how to prevent, diagnose and treat different kinds of cancer
• We ensure that our findings are used to improve the lives of all cancer patients
• We help people to understand cancer, the progress we are making and the choices each person can make
• We work in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer

Join the fight for women's survival

We are making amazing progress, but we need your support to help us continue to do so. Get together and join the fight for women's survival by entering an event or organising your own fundraising activity and raise money for our vital work.

The money you raise can make a real difference to those touched by cancer, both now and in the future – please support us and help save more lives.
