From Research to Action
The California Breast Cancer Research Program invites you to join us at our third statewide gathering of breast cancer scientists, activists, clinicians, policy makers, and interested public, where we will address critical issues in fighting breast cancer.
The breast cancer field is moving “From Research to Action” by developing basic breast cancer research concepts, testing them in a clinical setting, and disseminating successful approaches into general practice. This year, the Symposium participants will learn about the achievements reached through this process and explore the future directions of the breast cancer field.
In the Technical Program on March 8, CBCRP funded researchers will describe their latest findings in scientific detail. The General Program will begin on March 8 with an evening reception and presentation of how your tax dollars are being put to work. On March 9, critical areas in breast cancer research will be discussed without technical jargon. In the plenary discussion session, you can learn about how clinical trials can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer You can also learn from leaders in the breast cancer field about racial and ethnic difference in breast cancer; how analyzing genes will help us refine breast cancer detection and treatment; how we can improve on mammography; how collaborative research is generating new approaches for treating breast cancer and improving access to care; and the latest breakthroughs being made by CBCRP researchers. The Community Research Collaboration Session on March 10 will give people interested in developing community collaboration research projects a chance to exchange ideas and share strategies.
