Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia and the most common cancer among females.
Every year over 3,300 people in Australian (including 33 men) will die from breast cancer.
Its incidence is increasing – with 1 in 7 women and about 1 in 550 men expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime.
The disease develops when cells within the breast grow abnormally and multiply to form a tumour. Thanks to medical research, breast cancer that is contained within the breast is now largely treatable.
Since the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) started funding research in 1994, the?death rates from breast cancer in Australia has reduced by over 40% thanks in large part to research in prevention, early detection and new and improved breast cancer treatments.
It’s progress to be proud of but the job’s not done. Nine people in Australia still die every single day.
Targeted, world-class research is the only way to stop women and men dying from breast cancer. By gaining a better understanding of how breast cancer tumours originate, grow and spread, we can save more lives.
