What if the gap between where we are and where we need to be could be smaller?

For too many people affected by breast cancer, gaps remain in research, access to care, information and survivorship. Breast Cancer Canada is working to close them.

Your support helps make progress possible.

Research is advancing. Treatments are evolving. But there is more work to do.

There are still gaps between where we are today and the care and outcomes Canadians deserve:

  • Earlier detection
  • More precise treatments
  • Better options for metastatic and rare breast cancers
  • Reducing overtreatment
  • Fewer treatment-related side effects
  • Better survivorship after treatment ends

 

These are more than gaps in research.

They are gaps in people’s lives.

Breast Cancer Canada is bringing research, education and advocacy together to close these gaps and help move progress from the lab to the Canadians who need it.

Breast Cancer Canada Initiatives

PROgress Tracker Breast Cancer Registry is a knowledge-based research study collecting Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) from breast cancer patients across the country.

The goal is to lead us to more directed research, updates in health care policies and treatment advances.

Progress CONNECT is an online tool designed that provides patients with information specific to their type of breast cancer.

The goal is to help patients have thoughtful discussions with their treating oncologist by providing up to date evidence-based information.
