Scientists and doctors involved in researching breast cancer are currently looking for new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat the disease. To date, this has led to many new advances in areas such as surgery, new medications, and possible new early-detection methods.
Breast cancer research is also focused on minimizing the side effects that can result from current treatments. Women who participate in research studies can make an important contribution to understanding this disease and how to control it -- as well as be among the first to benefit if a new treatment approach is effective.
