The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Network UK

The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Network UK was founded by Caroline Ballinger whose daughter was diagnosed with IBC in 2011. At the time of her daughter’s diagnosis it quickly became clear that there was no IBC-specific support, information or research in the UK.

Our support service aligns with the International Standard of Care for Inflammatory Breast Cancer. We advocate for patients to make informed choices about their care, supporting them throughout their treatment and beyond.

Support is available for patients, healthcare professionals, family members and carers.

We are grateful for all fundraising, no matter how big or small. Not only will you be raising money that we vitally need, but you’ll also be raising awareness of this rare form of breast cancer and of our charity.

We are committed to advancing research into inflammatory breast cancer. We work closely with clinicians, scientists and research organisations, funding dedicated IBC research here in the UK.

We will keep this page up to date with all our charity news. If you have any news articles you’d like published, please contact us at info@ibcnetworkuk.org.

We are proud to be partners with EURORDIS – the voice of Rare Disease Patients in Europe. Every year we will be raising awareness of inflammatory breast cancer.
