Help contribute to breast cancer research

Posted on September 01, 2016

Clinical trials are one of the major factors responsible for the gains made in breast cancer survival over the past 30 years.

“While much can be learned from the anecdotal clinical experience of individual practitioners and from retrospective chart review, this informal system is not conducive to high-quality clinical studies that could help change clinical practice,” said Dr. Antonio Wolff, a physician with the Hopkins Breast Cancer Program.

Who can volunteer?

Any man or woman being seen at Johns Hopkins for breast cancer treatment — or for any screening or diagnostic breast procedures, such as mammograms or biopsies — may participate. Individuals without a history of breast cancer may also contribute samples.

For more information or to volunteer, contact HopkinsBreastTrials@jhmi.edu.
