The goal of the Breast Cancer Initiative is to disseminate breast cancer decision aids and evaluate the implementation of decision aids in different settings across the United States.
There are five programs that cover the major decisions that women with breast cancer may face in a comprehensive and easy to understand manner. The programs feature many breast cancer survivors who talk about their experiences and how they came to select their treatment. Organizations that counsel women facing decisions about treatment of breast cancer are eligible to receive up to 10 copies of the following programs each time they make a request: DCIS: Choosing Your TreatmentEarly Stage Breast Cancer: Choosing Your SurgeryBreast Reconstruction: Is It Right For You? Hormone Therapy and Chemotherapy: Are They Right For You? Several sites are collecting data from patients about the impact of the programs on decision quality.

Vitamin D powerfully protects against breast cancer. Mammograms cause some breast cancers, reduce deaths by almost the same number of deaths they cause and overall do very little to extend lives. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in North American women (heart disease is number one). In spite of modern cancer detection and treatment methods, the percentage of women dying from this common cancer has not changed much in the last thirty years.1.

NQMBC™ Certified Breast Centers. Cancer Crusade. Silicon Valley Comes to the UK. PREDICT. Dan Pallotta : Bio. Dan Pallotta invented the multi-day charitable event industry with the AIDS Rides and Breast Cancer 3-Days.
These events altered the landscape of options for ordinary individuals seeking to make an extraordinary difference. Dan's work brought the practice of four-figure philanthropy within the reach of the average citizen who had never raised money for charity before in their lives. 182,000 people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds participated in these inspiring, often grueling, long-distance events that raised $582 million in nine years - more money raised more quickly for these causes than any private event operation in history.
Three million people donated to the events. The company had approximately 400 full-time employees in 16 U.S. offices, won Brandweek's Best Cause-Related Event Award, and was the subject of a Harvard Business School case study on social enterprise. Dan is a featured weekly contributor to the Harvard Business Review online. He is a William J. Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group. Worldwide Breast Cancer. What is Worldwide Breast Cancer?
Worldwide Breast Cancer is an online resource that makes it easy to understand the basics of breast cancer.

This is how Worldwide Breast Cancer came to be. By using a friendly metaphor to open the discussion, the opportunities to communicate go beyond language, education and culture and truly have the potential to connect globally. Perhaps you have caught the same spirit of wanting to do something with your talents to help the cause.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave us another option for treating postmenopausal patients with metastatic, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer whose disease has progressed on Arimidex or Femara by approving Afinitor (everolimus) in combination with Aromasin (exemestane). This new approval was based on the BOLERO-2 trial which was a randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial conducted in 724 postmenopausal women. Patients were randomized to receive either Afinitor 10 mg/day plus Aromasin 25 mg/day or to placebo plus Aromasin 25 mg/day. Both Aromasin and Afinitor are oral drugs.
Aromasin is an aromatase inhibitor which works by lowering estrogen levels in postmenopausal women. Breast tumors : an overview. PREPARE. Website Helps Patients Navigate Complex Medical Decisions. A new patient-friendly online resource called PREPARE has been developed to help people make complex medical decisions.
The PREPARE website – developed by researchers from the UCSF-affiliated San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC), UCSF and the Veterans Health Research Institute (NCIRE) – incorporates content identified in new research to address key patient- and surrogate-identified aspects of preparing for advance care planning and decision-making. The site provides concrete examples through videos and other mechanisms on how to identify what is most important in life, how to communicate that with family and friends and doctors, and how to make informed medical decisions.
Rebecca Sudore, MD The resource is being launched by researchers who recently published a study on advance care planning in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management. “Advance directives are important, but they are just one piece of the puzzle,” she said.
