The National Breast Center Foundation exists to improve the lives of women by removing barriers that prevent them from getting proper screening, diagnosis, and education about breast cancer.  The Greater DC region has one of the HIGHEST incidence and mortality from breast cancer in the nation, especially those that are underinsured. Tools exist today that improve the diagnostics and treatment of breast cancer, but most women either aren’t offered these options or don’t have access to places they are provided. Roughly 80% of even affluent, educated women in our area NEVER hear about important options that are proven useful in treating breast cancer.  Women are dying from breast cancer too frequently because they aren’t getting the care they need. With your help, we will turn the tide.
