NEED YOU

“ We want to stop women dying from metastatic breast cancer. With your support, we can make even bigger steps forward. Thank you so much for giving so kindly. It is a wise investment. 

– NBCF-funded researcher, Associate Professor Alexander Swarbrick


Your support will fund urgent
research into…

PREVENTION

More research is needed to understand why, how and when breast cancer spreads. The more we understand, the more chances we have of preventing it.

DETECTION

More research is needed to develop effective tools to predict, detect and monitor the spread of cancer. The sooner we can detect it, the better we can treat it.

TARGETED TREATMENTS

More research is needed for personalised treatments for metastatic breast cancer. The more targeted the treatment strategy, the better the outcome.


The funds you raise are vital. The more you raise, the closer we get to Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

Could help researchers identify new tests that help predict the effectiveness of metastatic treatment for breast cancer .

Could go towards researchers identifying faulty genes in metastatic breast cancer, which could lead to more targeted and personalised treatments.

Could support researchers to develop a simple, non-invasive blood test to predict, detect and monitor the return and spread of breast cancer.
