We’re the UK’s leading breast cancer charity. And we’re combining the power of science and support to change breast cancer. Now.
Did you spot our chief scientific officer Simon Vincent on BBC Breakfast this morning? He spoke about how new research has found that NICE referral criteria used by GPs can miss up to 95% of women under 50 who go on to develop breast cancer within 10 years.
Could this be a new way to target triple negative breast cancer? We usually think of copper as something found in coins, pipes or wires. But inside the body, copper could be helping triple negative breast cancer cells grow and spread. breastcancernow.org/our-research...

Time ran out for Jeannie and Tracy. They died in the 2 years since we made this video, along with many others around the UK living with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer. Some of them could still be here. With their friends, their families, their partners, their children.

Today MPs are holding a debate in parliament on metastatic breast cancer. Their discussion is likely to include issues such as improvements to data collection and access to life-extending treatments such as Enhertu. The people who need these drugs don’t have time to wait.
We urgently need your help. Thousands of people living with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer have been denied access to the life-extending drug, Enhertu. Denied the extra time to live it could have given them.
We have a bold vision. That by 2050, everyone with breast cancer will live and live well. And world-class research will help us get there.
Our scientists are tackling breast cancer from every angle. In our latest research, Professor Pascal Meier from the Breast Cancer Now Toby Robins Research Centre at @icr.ac.uk explored how we can outsmart resistance to immunotherapy. breastcancernow.org/about-us/res...
