Our research into womb cancer
120 years of life-saving discoveries
Our scientists have been at the forefront of cancer research since 1902.
Thanks to you, we’ve come so far. And we will go much further.
Together, we will beat cancer.
Our research is saving lives
Womb cancer is the fourth most common cancer in UK women, with around 9,300 cases diagnosed each year. Thanks to research, more than three-quarters of women diagnosed with womb cancer today now survive their disease for at least 10 years – but more work is needed to improve how the disease is diagnosed and treated to make sure more women with womb cancer live longer.
Current research
From studying the biology of womb cancer cells in the lab to leading clinical trials testing cutting-edge treatments, our researchers are working hard to ensure more women survive womb cancer.
Past research
Thanks to research, we’ve helped change the outlook for women with womb cancer.

Our strategy
Over the last 40 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970s just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive.
We want to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.
