Since its inception in 1985, LSCRF has raised nearly $30 million toward advancing the understanding of breast cancer. For the last 23 years, LSCRF has been affiliated with Northwestern Medicine, helping to fund research at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center in novel treatments, education and early detection of breast cancer. LSCRF also funds fellowships in areas such as breast surgery, medical oncology and breast reconstruction to ensure that more patients have access to professionals with advanced training in the treatment of breast cancer.
