Susan G. Komen® ShareForCures™
In an effort to bridge the gap, Susan G. Komen® has launched ShareForCures™, a breast cancer research registry that connects researchers with information from people who have or had breast cancer across the United States.
"ShareForCures is a solution for two pressing problems. The first issue being people affected by breast cancer cannot easily contribute to cutting-edge research and secondly, researchers do not have access to large amounts of diverse patient data," said Paula Schneider, President and CEO of Susan G. Komen®.
