Breast Cancer Ireland

Breast Cancer Ireland is a charity set up to raise money for breast cancer research. It is administered through the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. This is such a vital part in the long term care of all patients who suffer from this disease, where through different projects we are constantly looking for new and improved ways of treating patients with breast cancer. We conduct relevant biological research into breast cancer, its causes and potential treatments.

Currently we cannot predict who will get breast cancer. We do know that there are factors that will increase a women's risk of developing breast cancer, such as family history. Early detection and early treatment of the disease is a vital part of reducing the number of women dying from breast cancer.
