Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Around 55,500 women and around 370 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year, with 1 in 7 UK women developing breast cancer during their lifetime.

If you'd like to know more about breast cancer, including how to spot symptoms, please visit the About Breast Cancer page of the main Cancer Research UK website, or download our 'Spot breast cancer early' leaflet.

Send a Gift with Impact and help fund more breast cancer research

We've just launched Gifts with Impact, a range of charity donation gifts that support progress in vital areas of our life-saving research - including breast cancer research.

Each Gift with Impact is a donation made in someone's name, delivered as an ecard with a personalised message explaining the difference their gift helps make.

Turn everyday moments into something more meaningful, helping celebrate, remember or say thank you while supporting life-saving research and driving progress against cancer.
