Every year a million women worldwide are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. This figure is just 200,000 fewer than the number of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer, yet the breast cancer survival rate in the UK is 80% compared with under 35% of women who survive a gynaecological cancer.

The Eve Appeal is determined to improve these grim statistics by funding vital research that will help save women's lives not only in the UK but throughout the world, but we need your support.
