The Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention Centre is the first purpose-built Centre of its kind in Europe. It is home to a team of researchers whose aim is to tackle the problem of breast cancer through research into prevention, early diagnosis and screening. It has the largest Family History Clinic in Europe for women with breast cancer in the family.

• Our mission is to create a future without breast cancer by making 1 in 10, none in 10.
• Our purpose built breast cancer prevention centre, Europe's first, was completed in 2007 and we aim to support its services by sponsoring people and science.
• We will achieve this by providing a strategic programme of clinical research, the UK's largest family history clinic, plus a training centre for specialists in all breast cancer disciplines.
•  We will promote breast screening and early diagnosis, and research new treatments to stop breast cancer in its early stages. 

The Facts:

• 1 in 10 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime, a third of these women will never be cured.
• Only 2% of all cancer research funding is spent on prevention.
• After decades of research into new treatments, the disease continues to rise across the western world.
