- International Breast Cancer Research Foundation
The International Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a New York-based international organisation that works on breast cancer issues around the world. It argues that "only through practical, cost-effective breakthrough research that takes advantage of the most promising opportunities and ideas everywhere in the world can we reach our goal of ending the suffering and death caused by breast cancer."
According to this organisation, some one-and-half million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
IBCRF was founded in 1992. Its current (July 2007) scientific director is Dr. Richard Love of the Ohio State University.
