About Eve

Each year, around one million women are diagnosed with gynaecological cancers worldwide compared to other major cancer killers such as lung cancer (1.4 million).

That’s one million reasons to have a charity like The Eve Appeal.

We are the only UK charity dedicated to funding research into all four gynaecological cancers. In the UK, however, ovarian cancer is the most common and fatal gynaecological cancer, which is why it is the focus of our current fundraising campaign.

When it is detected at its most advanced stage, over 85% of women who develop ovarian cancer will die from the disease, but when it is detected in the early stages, 95% of women will survive.
