Love the episode? Send us a text!
Breast cancer research funding disparity is a significant issue that affects the progress and outcomes of finding the cure for metastatic breast cancer. Funding for breast cancer prevention and early-stage treatment, while important, does not address the specific challenges faced by those with metastatic breast cancer. Instead, if funding goes towards developing medications that can keep patients alive until a cure is found, not only those living with MBC would benefit, but so would anyone else diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer!
(In case you missed Part I, Unveiling the Realities of Metastatic Breast Cancer in October, you can catch it here!)
Topics Discussed
[00:02:11] Research dollars and the cure.
[00:07:28] Sense of betrayal in fundraising.
[00:09:38] Where does the money go?
[00:12:48] Research on metastatic breast cancer.
[00:18:34] Genomic testing importance.
[00:21:09] Not enough funding for research.
