The Canadian Cancer Society Helps Women
With Breast Cancer
The Canadian Cancer Society helps
in the fight against breast cancer by funding promising research,
providing information about breast cancer and screening, and offering
emotional support to women with breast cancer and their families.
Research
Since 1993, the Canadian Cancer Society
has contributed more than $50 million to fund a broad range of research
related both directly and indirectly to breast cancer. The Society
contributes to breast cancer research through scientifically reviewed
grants and through its partnership in the Canadian Breast Cancer
Research Initiative.
