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 2003. 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, arranged in four groups:

The Community Impact of Breast Cancer: The Social Context

Prevention and Risk Reduction: The Environment of the Disease

Biology of the Breast Cell: The Basic Science of the Disease

Diagnosis and Treatment: Delivering Clinical Solutions
