BREAKTHROUGH CANCER RESEARCH

Breakthrough Cancer Research is an Irish charitable organisation dedicated solely to funding scientific solutions that tackle cancer. By scouting the world's most promising ideas and providing rapid, targeted investment, the charity accelerates breakthroughs that move patients from diagnosis to cure. Its ambitious vision - 100 % survival for 100 % of cancers - drives a focused research agenda that prioritises poor-prognosis tumours such as lung, oesophageal, ovarian, pancreatic, brain, liver and stomach cancers, while also supporting the development of new therapeutics, surgical techniques, biomarkers, nutrition strategies and big-data tools for personalised care.

Operating from hubs in Dublin and Cork, Breakthrough works closely with leading researchers, hospitals and industry partners to embed cutting-edge science into everyday cancer care across Ireland. The organisation also engages survivors, corporate allies and the wider public through exhibitions, storytelling initiatives and fundraising events, ensuring that every donation translates into more survivors and a brighter future for all affected by cancer.
