Gynaecological cancers are the world's fourth largest
cancer killer of women.
Every year a million women are diagnosed with a gynaecological
cancer worldwide. In the UK, 18,000 women are diagnosed and nearly
7,500 women die every year. And yet, awareness and funding of
gynaecological cancers remains low.
The Eve Appeal is determined to change this by funding vital
research focused on developing effective methods of prediction,
detection, treatment and care that will help save women's lives not
only in the UK but throughout the world.
This world-leading research is complicated and challenging but
our vision is simple:
A future where fewer women develop and more women
survive gynaecological cancers.

Cervical Cancer Awareness Week
Cervical cancer is cancer of the cervix (also known as the neck
of the womb) which connects a woman's womb and her vagina.
Cervical cancer can affect women of all ages but is most common
in women between 30 - 45 years of age. It is very rare in women
under 25 years of age.
Cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease. In the UK we
have a very successful cervical screening programme which is
estimated to save over 4,000 lives each year. In the future, most
cervical cancers will be prevented by HPV vaccination, but for the
next few decades, cervical screening will still be vitally
important
