Health Disparities in Estrogen Receptor Negative Breast Cancer Working Group
The propose of this NCI multidisciplinary working group is to examine the state of the science in ER negative breast cancer and to identify research objectives with the goal of narrowing the gap in breast cancer health disparities and contributing to the progress in prevention, control, and treatment of estrogen receptor negative (ERN) breast cancer. The working group sponsored a "Health Disparities in Estrogen Receptor Negative Breast Cancer Think Tank" held at NIH on November 1-2, 2007. The meeting featured a multidisciplinary array of leading researchers and clinicians who have a keen interest in ERN breast cancers. The working group is developing an RFA that offers a trans-disciplinary approach to prevent and reduce ER negative breast cancer morbidity and mortality in African American women.
