Researchers from New Century Health and Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island presented findings from their efforts to increase adoption of hypofractionation in breast cancer patients at the National Comprehensive Cancer Care Network conference, on March 31.
In 1991, the National Breast Cancer Coalition demanded that the federal government spend $300 million more on breast cancer research. This push resulted in the creation of the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, which has broadened to 34 other diseases with an FY24 budget of $1.5 billion.
