Campaign’s Gap Analysis
Breast Cancer Campaign asked 56 of the UK’s most prominent breast cancer experts for their views on current breast cancer research. It was one of the largest studies to have been carried out in the UK and highlighted key gaps in current breast cancer research and helped to identify the future challenges that need to be achieved in order to gain the maximum benefit for patients. The study (PDF) was published by open access journal Breast Cancer Research.http://www.breastcancercampaign.org/whatwedo/achievements/
The History of Breast Cancer
In 2006, Campaign published “The History of Breast Cancer”, a report that highlighted the key achievements made in breast cancer research over the last 2,000 years. The report aimed to outline how the money spent on research has not only advanced our knowledge of breast cancer but also directly benefited patients.http://www.breastcancercampaign.org/whatwedo/achievements/
