· Launched testing of a hand-held ultrasound triage system that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Guadalajara and Tijuana, Mexico, to assess the possible malignancy of palpable breast lumps.
· Partnership with the National Cancer Institute to analyze data collected from The Health of Women Study® which could give hence as to causes of breast cancer and identify what needs to be studied.
· Launched the Commit to Love campaign as a part of an on going, nationwide effort to inspire and increase the number of women of color enrolled in breast cancer research studies within the Army of Women®.
“Our highest priority is research that is fearless and outside the norm,” says Chief Visionary Officer, Dr. Susan Love. “Donations of all sizes empower the innovative research that answers the questions of what causes breast cancer in women and how we can prevent it.”
