Providing the public with evidence-based and patient-centered information on important breast cancer issues and research has been a key focus for the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) since its inception in 1991. As NBCC challenges the world to change the conversation about breast cancer with its Breast Cancer Deadline 2020®, staff and advocates assess breast cancer research in the scientific and medical literature, as well as significant research findings reported in mainstream media to provide an in-depth, patient-centered perspective on current research for the public.
