Major step in personalized treatment — Thanks to a 2007 research grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, scientists identified a set of 50 genes that oncologists can potentially use to tailor individualized treatments for all breast cancer patients.
Funding Priorities
A minimum of 25 percent of the net income from each domestic Affiliate Race supports the national Komen for the Cure Grant Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific conferences around the world.
Up to 75% of funds we raise (after operating costs) will stay in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties. We gave more than $900,000 in grants in fiscal year 2008-09.
Community Profile and Executive Summary
