Our mission is to support research efforts to achieve the primary prevention
of breast and ovarian cancers. The focus of our efforts is to obtain
federal funding for a “Women’s Health Initiative” to facilitate
clinical trials for the primary immune prevention
of breast and ovarian cancer in otherwise healthy, cancer-free women.
