The Breast
Cancer Research Foundation
The Breast Cancer Research
Foundation (BCRF) is an
independent, not-for-profit organization which has raised
more than $500 million to support clinical and translational research at
medical institutions worldwide. BCRF currently funds over 200 researchers in 6
continents and 13 countries.[1]
The BCRF's director of research is Dr. Larry Norton of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center. BCRF has funded basic research on genetic
susceptibility to breast cancer, breast cancer stem cells, trastuzumab
(Herceptin), anti-angiogenesis treatment with bevacizumab
(Avastin), MRI imaging, aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen; and also
clinical trials of new treatments with the Translational Breast Cancer
Research Consortium.[2]
BCRF was founded in 1993 by Evelyn Lauder,
Senior Corporate Vice President of The Estee Lauder Companies. Lauder's first foray into breast cancer awareness was through an initiative by herself
and Alexandra
Penney, former editor of SELF magazine, to
make the pink ribbon an
international symbol of breast cancer awareness.
