  1. We are fundraisers,campaigners, researchers,believers. We are the people living with breast cancer, the families affected bybreast cancer and the thousands determined to stop breastcancer. We are mothers, sisters,husbands, children, colleagues,friends.

  2. Weare Breast CancerNow Andwe’retheforcethat’sgoingto stop breastcancer.

  3. One in eight womenin the UK will face breast cancer in their lifetime.

  4. Well overhalfa millionpeopleliving in theUKhave experienceda diagnosis.

  5. Nearly 700,000 peopleliving in theUK have experienced adiagnosis. Around 11,500 women and 80 men die frombreast cancer every year in theUK.

  6. We can’t live withthat. It’s time toact.

  7. One charity for everyone affected by breastcancer In April 2019, Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Nowunited to create onecharity. Support for today Hope for thefuture

  8. We believe that if weall act now, by2050, everyone who develops breast cancer will live– and receive thesupport they need to livewell.

  9. Ourapproach We bring together everyone affected by the disease andall those working to stopit: Supporting around 380 of the UK and Ireland’s brightest researchers Host helplines, support groups and more for all affected by breast cancer Public health campaigns that reachmillions Hard-hitting policy work and campaigning on behalf of patients and their families

  10. Our researchportfolio includes: Our world-leading dedicated breast cancer research centrein London – the first of its kind in theUK The Breast Cancer Now Tissue Bank – the UK’s largestunique collection of high-quality breast tissue, breast cells and blood samples from breast cancerpatients The Breast Cancer Now Generations Study – one of theworld’s largest and most comprehensive studies into the causes of breastcancer

  11. Our research focuseson four criticalareas Risk andprevention Early detection anddiagnosis Treatments Secondary breastcancer

  12. Risk and prevention

  13. If we can stop people developing breastcancer, by 2050, webelieve everyone willlive We know that someone’s chances of developing breast cancer are affected by a combination of our genes, lifestyle choices and events throughout life, and there is never one single cause ofthe disease. Now we need to understand how these different factors come together and how we can take this knowledge further to findthe right way to help each individual woman keep her risk of developing breast cancer as low aspossible.

  14. Earlydetection anddiagnosis

  15. If we can detect breast cancer earlier, by 2050, we believe everyone willlive. We’ve seen that finding breast cancer early gives womenthe best chance of surviving it, and we’ve developed simple, memorable health messages to support thataim. Now we need to encourage everyone to be breast aware,ensure the screening programme works as effectively as possible and find innovative new ways to detect breast cancerearlier.

  16. Treatments

  17. If we can treat more breast cancers effectively, by 2050, we believe everyone willlive. We have some effective treatments for breast cancer, but unfortunately they don’t work for everyone. If we are to stop breast cancer taking lives, we need to find treatments for all types of breast cancer and ensure that everyone receivesthe most suitable treatment forthem. Now it’s time to find treatments that work for every type ofbreast cancer – particularly those hardest to treat, where options are currentlylimited.

  18. Secondary breast cancer

  19. If we can stop secondary breast cancer, by 2050, we believe everyone willlive. We’ve refused to ignore secondary breast cancer – whenthe disease spreads to other parts of the body – which cutsshort around 1,000 UK women’s lives eachmonth. Now we must find ways to stop the disease in its trackswith treatments that give women back the time secondary breast cancersteals.

  20. Research and support hold the key to a world where everyone who develops breastcancer lives – and liveswell. With your help, by 2050, we believe we will livein thatworld.

  21. But only if we all actnow.

  22. It’s time tocome together. It’s time tosupport
