The Breast Oncology Program at UCSF is a longstanding program that has served as a model for other translational research programs within the Cancer Center. Involving nearly 60 faculty scientists, the Program supports and stimulates basic, clinical, and population research in breast cancer and facilitates translation of these findings into improved cancer management and control.

Program research is supported by major grants from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, and other public and private agencies.

Breast Oncology Program faculty are involved in the following research programs and projects:

• Bay Area Breast Cancer Specialized Program Of Research Excellence (SPORE)
• Bay Area Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Center
• Clinical Proteomic Technology Assessment for Cancer (CPTAC)
• Integrative Cancer Biology Program (ICBP)
• Biotechnology Resource for Innovation and Development in Genomedicine (BRIDGE)
• Mammography Registry
• I-SPY Trial
• Biological Basis of Breast Density and Breast Cancer Risk (P01)
• Stand Up 2 Cancer Dream Team
• Athena Breast Health Network
• www.BreastCancerTrials.org

All of the work of the Breast Oncology Program is critically informed by a committed group of patient advocates, who participate in regular research meetings, help to establish program priorities, and undertake efforts to educate their peers about participation in clinical research studies
