Research Progress and Results
On the following pages, we present the results of research funded by the California Breast Cancer Research Program that was completed during 2002. We also present summaries of research in progress and of new research started this year.
We have organized the Research Progress and Results section by the CBCRP's nine Priority Issues:
- Biology of the Normal Breast: The Starting Point
- Earlier Detection: Improving Chances for a Cure
- Etiology: Finding the Causes
- Health Policy and Health Services: Better Serving
- Innovative Treatments: Search for a Cure
- Pathogenesis: Understanding the Disease
- Prevention and Risk Reduction: Ending the Danger of Breast Cancer
- Racial and Ethnic Differences in Breast Cancer: Eliminating Disparity
- Sociocultural, Behavioral, and Psychological Issues: The Human Side
