About the National Breast Cancer Research Institute

​

The National Breast Cancer Research Institute is a national charity that funds a comprehensive research programme at the University of Galway. Breast cancer research has improved the diagnosis, treatment options, and outcomes for those who develop the disease. This charity funds these research programmes to continue to impact the outcomes for those who develop the disease in the future.

The research team, in collaboration with universities and hospitals across the globe, focuses on the development and improvement of diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies, to drive real and measurable improvement in clinical outcomes for breast cancer patients.

Currently, 1 in 7 Irish women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. 3,587 cases are diagnosed annually which is set to continue to increase. These women are our mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, friends and neighbours. We know these women, they play major roles in our lives.

With your help, we can positively impact the future for women in Ireland.
