IBCRF currently has studies underway at 22 sites in foreign countries and in the United States. Your dollar goes a long way in helping women and their families all over the world who are, or who will be, affected by breast cancer every year.

Your $10 contribution pays for a biopsy to see if breast cancer is really present. In the U.S., the same procedure costs $300!

Your $50 contribution pays for a pathology hormone receptor test to determine if hormonal treatment will be beneficial to the patient. In the U.S., this test costs $500!

Your $100 contribution pays for Tamoxifen medicine for a patient for 2 years. In the U.S, this will buy only enough for 1 or 2 months!

Your $500 contribution covers all the costs of breast and ovarian surgery for one woman. In the U.S., this would cost $10,000!

Your $1,000 contribution covers all the costs for one patient’s care and participation in an IBCRF research study. In the U.S., it would take $15,000 to cover the entire cost of the same care!

On behalf of women everywhere…IBCRF thanks you in advance for your generosity.
