A large retrospective study conducted by physician researchers from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center shows benefits of chemotherapy for many patients with early-stage breast cancer with rare variant histology, or tumor anatomy. These findings were presented by first author Arya Mariam Roy during the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting.
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.
