Battling Cancer

Welcome to the weekend edition of cancer news, events and anything else interesting going on in the world of cancer.

The Upside Down Ribbon of FRIENDS for an EARLIER BREAST CANCER TEST

“While most breast cancer organizations focus on searching for a “cure” for breast cancer, Friends is the only breast cancer organization whose sole purpose is to find a new method for earlier pre-tumor detection of breast cancer. Right now, breast cancers may be growing in the body for 5 to 8 years before they can be found through modern technology. Friends is dedicated to making funds available to researchers who are searching for a biological method capable of indicating the presence of breast cancer in the body within the first year of onset. Friends’ upside down ribbon represents their commitment to this vision. ”
