BCC unveiled patient reported research project in San Antonio

One person’s breast cancer journey is powerful. But hundreds? Thousands?

Breast Cancer Canada is forming the largest patient reported outcomes (PROs) tracker for breast cancer in Canada. This will be our first self-initiated research study. On December 8th, we shared our plans with top Canadian oncologists, researchers and industry leaders at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Our end-to-end patient reported database will provide essential information to researchers and the wider medical community, to improve the management of breast cancer. The data will show us opportunities to improve patient care like never before. The best part? This research is powered by patients. More information is coming soon as we prepare to launch this project in the spring of 2023. Stay tuned! #SABCS22 #precisiononcology #KnowBreastCancer #ResearchMatters
