National Breast Cancer Coalition Our mission: To end breast cancer through the power of action and advocacy. Together we can end breast cancer.

If you have found this page, you have likely been affected by breast cancer--either your own diagnosis or that of a family member or a friend. Like those of us at the National Breast Cancer Coalition, you want to know how to end breast cancer. In 1991, the National Breast Cancer Coalition was formed with one mission—an end to breast cancer. We combine the power of advocacy, education, policy, and research to unite around one goal: ending breast cancer. NBCC has accomplished much in its history: bringing about unprecedented research funding to the worldwide scientific community, forging new collaborations to design research and set priorities, expanding access to information and care to underserved women, and launching unparalleled training programs to prepare advocates around the globe to work side by side with scientists, policymakers and health care providers.
