Around 55,000 women and 390 men a year in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer. Yet over a quarter of these cases could be prevented through lifestyle changes. That means over 13,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented, saving millions of lives, avoiding unnecessary suffering and reducing the cost to the NHS by over £1.5 billion a year.
With your generous support, you can boost their work to help people reduce their risk now and stop preventable cases of breast cancer in future generations.
