THE VIRUS AND THE VACCINE

On September 14, Breast Health & Healing will host the second annual Breast Cancer Summit.  Once again we will appear in the Rayburn Building on Capitol Hill to share the good news about our successes and the next steps on the road to the Pure Cure, prevention.  This year’s topic is:  The Virus And The Vaccine.

Scientists from around the country, professors all, will travel to Capitol Hill to share the results of their work on inflammatory breast cancer, the breast cancer virus and the first preventive breast cancer vaccine.  I promise you, this will be the most game-changing, dynamic meeting of breast cancer experts this year.

Since our Summit last year, I am happy to announce that funding for research on the human mammary tumor virus has quadrupled!  However, it is still a paltry sum compared to the amount of money otherwise spent on breast cancer research, and hardly represents the portion of breast cancer that may be related to a virus – approximately 40%.

Scientists working on the breast cancer virus and the preventive breast cancer vaccine need our help and support to continue their innovative research, so join us on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, September 14, beginning at 8:30 am, in Room 2103 of the Rayburn Building in Washington, D.C.

Imagine a world without breast cancer.  Imagine a world where breast cancer has gone the way of polio … into the history book of preventable disease. 

Join us for the Breast Cancer Summit: The Virus and the Vaccine, September 14, on Capitol Hill, and help make this dream come true.

See you there!

Regards, 


Kathleen T. Ruddy, MD
