‘‘Research cures cancer, but only if the research gets from the laboratory to the clinic.
They only way this happens is through clinical trials. These trials are the oncology ‘‘village’’ at its best: brilliant researchers creating new therapeutic or diagnostic approaches to target breast cancer, doctors designing the best trials to test these agents, courageous patients willing to give that most precious of commodities, themselves, for the common good.’’
-Komen Chief Scientific Advisor, George Sledge, Jr., M.D., Professor and Chief of the Division of Oncology in the Department of Medicine at Stanford University.
