Susan G. Komen's ShareForCures

Summary

ShareForCures (SFC) is a community-based participatory research registry, and its prime objective is to engage participants representative of the United States breast cancer patient population -including minoritized and historically marginalized people, persons, or communities-to ensure the data researchers use to study breast cancer is as diverse as the people touched by this disease. In doing so, researchers will have a better understanding of breast cancer, and everyone can potentially benefit from scientific advances and improvements in care.

Detailed Description
