 Major step in personalized treatment
Thanks to a 2007 research grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, scientists identified a set of 50 genes that oncologists can potentially use to tailor individualized treatments for all breast cancer patients. You can help us continue funding important research like this by donating today.
Awarding community grants in Mexico
We recently provided nearly $62,000 in community grants to help establish a formal breast cancer network in Mexico City. These grants will help conduct the first-ever breast cancer awareness workshops in the Triqui indigenous region of Oaxaca and help establish a partnership between a private hospital in Monterrey and Nuevo Leon’s Ministry of Health to offer breast health training to medical professionals in community health centers.

What's Up?
 Let's talk triple negative breast cancer
Did you know that triple negative breast cancer accounts for about 15 percent of all breast cancer cases in the United States? Our chief scientific advisor, Eric Winer, M.D., updates us about it and how we are helping, in the inaugural monthly column News and Perspectives.
Stimulus package includes important health provisions
The recently enacted economic stimulus legislation includes a $10 billion investment in biomedical research and helps states struggling with increased health care costs and heightened demand for Medicaid. Komen Activists played a key role sending letters and calling their legislators in support of these important priorities. See how you can get involved and become an advocate.
