Our mission

Today, a woman’s chance of getting breast cancer is 1 in 8. Globally, breast cancer still causes 522.000 deaths annually...

We are on a mission to change that.

BIG is an international not-for-profit organisation that represents the largest global network – over 50 countries, across 6 continents – of academic groups dedicated to breast cancer research.

Our mission is to facilitate and accelerate breast cancer research at the international level. We are convinced that through global research and collaboration, we will find a cure for breast cancer.

"Finding a cure is one of the biggest challenges faced by researchers from around the world."

Significant progress has been made to improve both the chances of survival and the quality of life of women affected by the disease. However, breast cancer remains the second most common cancer in the world and is still responsible for too many deaths annually.

By bringing together top breast cancer experts from around the world to conduct innovative research, BIG has the global reach and expertise required to find a cure. We need to support such critical research to give hope to women affected by this devastating disease, and their families.
