With more than 200,000 women stricken with breast cancer each year, the UC hospitals statewide have decided to take on a big collaborative effort to combat the disease that kills 40,000 women annually and on which the nation spends $20 billion for screening and care. Under the ATHENA Breast Health Network, more than 150,000 California women will be tested for breast cancer and then followed for decades wth $10.1 million in total grant funding from the UC system and the Safeway Foundation. Researchers hope to compile a giant mass of data and knowledge that will reshape the treatment of breast cancer, including designing and testing new approaches to research, technology and delivery of care.
