In 2010, frustrated by the lack of innovation in breast cancer, NBCC launched the Artemis Project and began work on a preventive vaccine. When NBCC started that work more than ten years ago, most in the world of breast cancer were skeptical at the very least. And, more often, dismissive. “…a Nature editorial dismissed… [NBCC’s] goal of developing a preventive vaccine by 2020 as “misguided,”…” But we persevered and now others have caught up. NBCC’s work on the Artemis preventive breast cancer vaccine was recently covered in a Science Magazine article that addresses the progress and benefits of this work.

The National Breast Cancer Coalition’s mission is to end breast cancer. Every dollar raised is immediately put to work funding scientific research, collaborative workshops and symposia, advocacy training, and public policy work in Washington, DC, and in state capitals across the country in support of our mission.

Every minute counts in our efforts to achieve the goal of ending breast cancer. Every dollar equates to more lives saved.

Your gift is more than a contribution. It is an investment that will enable us to end breast cancer, once and for all.
