CoE-Breast Cancer Center of Excellence (Army)

Abstract

The Breast Cancer Center of Excellence provides a multidisciplinary approach as the standard of care for treating breast diseases and breast cancer. This approach integrates prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and continuing care, incorporation of advances in risk reduction, biomedical informatics, tissue banking and translational research. The project is based on a discovery science paradigm, leveraging high-throughput molecular biology technology and our unique clinically well-characterized tissue repository with advances in biomedical informatics leading to hypothesis-generating discoveries that are then tested in hypothesis-driven experiments. The objective of this research is to reduce the incidence, morbidity (illness), and mortality (death) of breast diseases and breast cancer among all military beneficiaries.
