Thanks to our network of volunteers, donors, and supporters, 2011 saw the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – Ontario Region award $11.3 million in new grants to over 50 promising new breast cancer research projects and training fellowships across the province.
Our funding recipients are working on everything from mathematical tools designed to individualize cancer care, to understanding why breast reconstruction surgery is so rarely chosen, to establishing how our own immune systems might be put to use to successfully fight breast cancer from within.
