Registry for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer
Today, researchers are learning about breast cancer from a small subset of patients, who are not representative of all breast cancer patients. ShareForCures® is an online registry that offers people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer a way to participate in research by connecting information about themselves with their breast cancer diagnosis, medical records, genomics. Participation is open to anyone adult, living in the United States, and who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
