    cancerUNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center linesDecember 2013 Carolina Breast Cancer Study enrolls record 3,000 participants Breast cancer survivor Deborah Manning believes in the power of knowledge when it comes to finding a cure for cancer. “The best knowledge we can provide as cancer survivors is what our lifestyles are like, what our habits are like, what our genetics are like, so maybe we can find some common thread that will link us all together and help find a cure.” Manning, who battled breast cancer in 2009, will be one of a record-breaking 3,000 cancer survivors to do just that over the next five years as a participant in the third phase of the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS). UNC Lineberger researchers hit the milestone earlier this fall, making this study the largest-ever Ribisl to lead new population-based study of breast cancer in North Carolina and one Center for Regulatory Research on Tobacco of the largest in the world. 3 Communications Launched in 1993, the study aims to improve understanding of breast cancer, including why the disease’s fatality rate is higher in African-American women. Phase III will focus specifically on how treatment decisions, access to care and financial or geographic barriers impact breast cancer outcomes, and whether these outcomes are predictable or altered by genetic breast cancer subtypes. Participants were identified from a list of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients provided by the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry (NCCCR), which identifies and registers all new cancer diagnoses in the state. Participants were then selected through a The Gingko “Living” Tree displays thoughts and reflections from breast Stephanie Wheeler: scientifically sound, randomized process, and physicians were cancer survivors in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study From Hollywood to 4 Public Health notified of the study’s intent to contact their patient.
