Researching Breast Cancer
Breast cancer takes many forms. Researching diagnosis, treatment and ways to prevent all types of the disease is what we do at Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
Some of this research is very specific, focusing on the unique characteristics of a particular form of breast cancer. However, much of our work will benefit all people with the disease.
Since we opened the UK’s first dedicated breast cancer research facility, we have enjoyed many successes.
As well as the dedicated Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research Centre in London, we have established a network of research units across the UK. It is in all these locations that our vital work takes place.
Across the network, world class scientists and clinicians are working together to ensure our research makes as big an impact as possible – as fast as possible.
Read more about our research into specific types of breast cancer:
- Hormone sensitive breast cancer
- HER2-positive breast cancer
- Triple-negative (hormone and HER2 negative) breast cancer
- Hereditary breast cancer
- Secondary breast cancer
- Male breast cancer
- Other types of breast cancer
We are also working hard to find ways of preventing breast cancer.
We’ve already achieved a lot – but there is so much more to do.
