3. Making an Impact
CBCF funds advancements in earlier detection, improved diagnosis and more effective
treatment, which to date have helped to reduce mortality rates by nearly 40 per cent.
However, breast cancer is still the most common cancer in Canadian women. And with one
in nine women still being diagnosed, there is much to be done.
- CBCF is working to stop breast cancer before it starts and reduce the number of
women who are diagnosed with breast cancer
- CBCF funds advancements in earlier detection, improved diagnosis and more effective
treatment
- CBCF works to ensure that women and their loved ones are better supported when
they experience a breast cancer diagnosis
