The Breast Cancer Project
One out of eight women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, and every hour nearly five women die from this disease.
Given the critical and all too common occurrence of this form of cancer, the NCC created the Breast Cancer Project to earmark funds specifically for basic research into the causes and potential treatments and cures for this disease.
Our grant to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC, funds research into breast cancer genetics and is geared to making existing approaches more effective in the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer. This project addresses issues at the cutting edge of cancer immunotherapy.
