Greeting
The Japan Breast Cancer Research Group (JBCRG) was founded in order to perform good quality multicenter studies, and related clinical trials in close
liaison with research institutions in other countries and regions, as well as in Japan.
We have performed a variety of studies, including primary pharmacotherapy, pharmacotherapy for recurrent breast cancer,
clinical trials on postoperative pharmacotherapy, prediction of prognosis in hormone receptor positive breast cancer,
and prediction of the effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. We have reported a number of outcomes to academic societies and journals,
and have obtained good reputation. The incidence of breast cancer in Japan has increased yearly; thus,
more attention has been given to breast cancer treatment, among all cancers.
In order to save as many breast cancer patients as possible, and to improve their QOL, we will develop new diagnostic methods and treatments,
and prophylaxes for breast cancer. Please support us with your generous contribution.
