Story
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK where 1 in every 7 women will develop this terrible disease. This equates to around 150 women a day. It is a sad reality that everyone is likely to know someone that will develop breast cancer. Research into breast cancer has made real progress and nearly two-thirds of those who are diagnosed now survive. However, incidence rates for breast cancer are projected to rise 2% by 2035 and there continues to be a real need to raise awareness and conduct vital research.
The group art exhibition entitled ‘Breast Cancer & Me’ during breast cancer awareness month aims to raise awareness through imaginative, sensitive, and thought-provoking responses.
Our researchers at the Nottingham Breast Cancer Research Centre continue to focus on three key research themes: Detect it early, Stop the spread and Treat it Right. The centre relies on fundraising income and we are grateful for the passionate support received from patients and affiliated groups, breast cancer survivors, their families and advocates. Every penny of your support goes to carrying out our research.
