Our Mission

Our mission is to impact the lives of people facing breast cancer. As educated breast cancer advocates and survivors, we work together with researchers, clinicians and other stakeholders to ensure research is patient-centered, innovative, evidence-based and accessible. Furthermore, we aim to foster and expand opportunities for advocates in the research community and beyond.

What Georgetown Investigators Say About GBCA

Kristi Graves, PhD

Kristi Graves, PhD

We found the review process very helpful. We incorporated suggestions from the committee into the proposal and planned intervention design.  These suggestions were quite relevant to improving the patient-center focus and relevancy of the outcomes we will assess.

We have partnered with GBCA on several grants. Their feedback not only provides excellent patient-centered insights, but also innovative thinking that reflects their diverse personal and professional backgrounds.

Lombardi's breast cancer advocacy group inspires us to address the critical issues facing women with this disease and helps reinforce our commitment to making this cancer controllable.

Louis Weiner, MD

Louis Weiner, MD

Patient advocates ... help investigators refine research questions to improve the study design or interpretations and increase the relevance of the outcomes to people with cancer.  Their efforts build public support for our ongoing activities, improve our research, and assure that our clinical trial designs include patients from diverse backgrounds.

Working closely with this group of committed, passionate women, we have seen the power of patient advocates who are so well-versed in the science.
