How is BCAM different from other breast cancer organizations?
BCAM takes its inspiration from Breast Cancer Action, an organization in San Francisco that has been in existence since 1990. While applauding the accomplishments of other breast cancer organizations, BCAM is concerned that over 95% of the funds raised for research into breast cancer are devoted to improvements in screening and treatment, leaving very little for research into the causes of this disease. BCAM strives to put the spotlight on the reasons why breast cancer develops and why more and more women are being diagnosed. Our hope is that, one day, breast cancer can be stopped before it starts.
