EDUCATION + RESEARCH + SUPPORT
No Lump… STILL Cancer
Over $1.6 million donated to inflammatory breast cancer research by The IBC Network Foundation.
But we do more than just fund research.
We attend research meetings, serve on grant committee’s, advocate, educate and run online support groups, just to list a few ways we spend our time. However, we want you to also see we are intensely focused on funding high quality research, because we feel research matters.
What is IBC?
A working definition: Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a rare and very aggressive disease in which cancer cells block lymph vessels in the skin of the breast.
This type of breast cancer is called “inflammatory” because the breast often looks swollen and red, or “inflamed”.
OUR MISSION:
- To fund research regarding Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
- To provide an avenue to network proactive education to the general population as well as the medical community regarding Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
It is important to know how your donation is utilized. The IBC Network Foundation existence is to fund research to eradicate this disease. We are a 501c3.
