About the Study
The Metastatic Breast Cancer Project is a patient-partnered initiative that directly engages patients across the US & Canada to transform our understanding of metastatic breast cancer. Patients participate by sharing their medical information, tumor samples, and their voices, partnering with the project team to accelerate discoveries. There is no cost to participate and only minimal effort is required to have a major impact.
The goal of the project is to generate and share de-identified information from medical records, genomic data, and patient-reported data. The data is deposited in publicly accessible databases every 6 months as it is generated so that the entire research community can analyze it.
