“We want to change women’s view of breast cancer, from one that believes it to be inevitable, to one that sees it as preventable”

Diana Ward, BCUK Chair 2004-2007


It is imperative that we change the way we approach the breast cancer epidemic. Breast Cancer UK (BCUK) believes that we can significantly reduce the incidence of breast cancer by reducing the levels of carcinogens, endocrine-disruptors and other hazardous chemicals in our everyday products and environment.Diana Ward at ARTAC conference, November 2007

The incidence of breast cancer has increased by 84% since records began in the UK in 1971. Since 1993 the average age of women diagnosed with breast cancer has been 50-54.  Between 1996 and 2001 breast cancer went from affecting one in 12 women to targeting one in every nine. This is regardless of the significant efforts made by women and their supporters to raise funds for researching the cure, and for all the research that has been undertaken resulting in improved detection, treatment, and lower mortality rates.

Please join us by registering your support for prevention of breast cancer here and use our ideas to lobby your MP and Government about why hazardous cancer-causing chemicals detrimental to our health are allowed to pollute our environment and have government approval to be in our products.
