In the charity's own words
The Eve Appeal's vision is a future where fewer women develop and more women survive the five gynaecological cancers. To achieve this vision we raise money to support and fund world-class research into the five gynaecological cancers alongside raising awareness of them. The five gynaecological cancers are ovarian, cervical, vulval, vaginal and womb (also known as endometrial or uterine).
