FCCC Institutional Breast Cancer Training Program (FCCC-IBCTP)
Abstract
The Institutional Breast Cancer Training Program offers to the postdoctoral trainees practical experience in the fields of cellular and molecular biology, drug resistance and targeted immunotherapy, genetic epidemiology and control, psychosocial and behavioral medicine, as well as breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. During the fourth year of the grant awarded we have been implementing the training phase of the program by monitoring each of the individual projects. The trainees have been attending at least one general lecture a week from those offered by the Fox Chase Cancer Center and a special seminar targeted to the formation of the trainees addressing critical subjects in breast cancer. We have established a half-day seminar twice a year in which the trainees present their work. In this last year of the program that ends in June 30 of 2004 we have requested and additional six months extension for allowing the completion of the program of those trainees that started in January 1, 2003. During this period the main emphasis has been and will be the data collection, analysis and preparation of abstracts and manuscripts.
