Re: MBCaware.org

Most clinical trials I read about are testing treatment options to extend life. The research MBCers need is to uncover why 30% of all breast cancers metastasize and then for drug companies to develop drugs to prevent it from happening or drugs to make MBC at a minimum treatable as a chronic illness. Because of the genome project, more is known but there are only a couple hundred researchers and 5% of research dollars allocated to solve this puzzle. And my reading tells me research collaboration is not what it needs to be.
