Detailed Information:
To achieve its mission, the National Breast Cancer Coalition focuses on three main goals:
* Research:
* Increasing appropriations for high quality, peer-reviewed research and working within the scientific community to focus research on prevention and finding a cure. Access:
* Increasing access for all women to high quality treatment and care, and to breast cancer clinical trials. Influence:
Increasing the influence of women living with breast cancer and other breast cancer activists in the decision making that impacts all issues surrounding breast cancer.
