BCRF investigator Dr. Nancy Lin leads research focused on advancing new strategies to prevent and treat breast cancer metastasis to the brain and central nervous system. Right now, there are more treatments helping people with MBC live longer, but there are only so many available and, unfortunately, they eventually can stop working. Only RESEARCH will get us to the point where we have “enough” and where we achieve our ultimate goal: ending metastatic breast cancer for good. Watch more from Dr. Lin, in conversation with Jen Feinberg, a BCRF fundraiser who is living with metastatic breast cancer, at the link below. https://bit.ly/46Ni06r
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation
Research
The highest-rated breast cancer org in the U.S. We fund research to find a cure in our lifetime.
About us
BCRF is the highest-rated breast cancer organization in the U.S. We provide critical funding for cancer research worldwide to fuel advances in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, metastasis and survivorship. Since our founding in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF has raised more than half a billion dollars for lifesaving research. Through a unique and streamlined grants program, we seek out the brightest minds in science and medicine and give them the necessary resources to pursue their best ideas. As a result, researchers are able to make discoveries and design new approaches to address all aspects of breast cancer—and do so in record time. Learn more and join us at www.bcrf.org.

"I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for research. My mother wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for research. My grandmother wouldn’t have survived if it wasn’t for research."—Tomomi Arikawa #ResearchIsTheReason Tomomi and her mother, Keiko, were successfully treated for breast cancer. Now, they're dedicated to raising funds for BCRF to fuel research and helping others find community through support groups. Read their full story below. https://bit.ly/3YfwM5a

Part of the reason so many people aren’t aware of the alcohol and breast cancer connection is because misconceptions about drinking’s effects on health have persisted for years. We're debunking common myths about alcohol and breast cancer. https://bit.ly/3y0D65i

A major new study revealed that Gen X faces higher cancer rates than any previous generation. In a recent article from Scientific American, researchers are investigating the potential contributing factors to this alarming trend. In the article, Dr. Andrew Chan of Harvard Medical School noted, “It’s very clear to us that cancer is evolving from a disease which has traditionally been considered a disease of aging to one which affects, really, all age groups. We need to develop more precision prevention approaches where we start to understand better who’s at risk in the general population and to start to target our efforts more directly to those people to make more headway.” That’s why one of our key priorities is to fuel research for this exact purpose: if we can better identify who is at risk and then intervene with targeted prevention methods, we can effectively slow--and ultimately one day reverse--incidence trends. https://bit.ly/3xTvAJT

While breast cancer in younger women is still relatively rare, breast cancer diagnoses in women under 50 have been rising by more than two percent annually over the past five years. This alarming trend is bringing light to the unique challenges younger women face when they're diagnosed with the disease.
