That means it can identify important new scientists, or those tenured in their careers, and provide the crucial bridge funding that gets them from the conceptual stage to eligibility for federal support. Breast Cancer Alliance understands that survival rates and quality of life are dramatically improved when patients are in the care of specially trained breast surgeons and is committed to funding breast surgery fellowships annually at selected Society of Surgical Oncology accredited institutions. We also dedicate grant funding each year towards breast health awareness and to eliminating barriers of access to care for underserved women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eMission\u003c\/summary\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe mission of Breast Cancer Alliance (BCA) is to improve survival rates and quality of life for those impacted by breast cancer through better prevention, early detection, treatment and cure.
