The John C. Lincoln Breast Health and Research Center in Phoenix is partnering with research groups to find a cure for breast cancer and with community organizations to provide a range of support for women.
One example is our participation in the Biomarker Translation Test, or BT Test, an innovative blood test that detects and measures levels of key biomarkers (proteins in the blood) associated with breast cancer. The test accurately diagnoses breast cancer in its early stages, when life-saving treatment is most effective.

Our partnership will greatly accelerate breast cancer research at TGen. Patients will be able to donate tissue to research, an opportunity unavailable at most hospitals.

The partnership between Channel 12, John C. Lincoln, Fry's Food Stores and Susan G. Komen for the Cure encourages women to do their monthly breast self-exams.
Through this relationship, more women are learning about the importance of monthly breast self-exams. Early detection saves lives, and early detection starts with annual mammogram screenings and monthly self-exams.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure
www.komenphoenix.org
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists who work together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care and fund research.
This global leader in breast cancer support has given our center a $24,000 annual grant to provide free mammogram and biopsy services to patients who either don't have insurance or are underinsured. If a woman loses her job and her health insurance, she’ll receive financial assistance for screening and interventional services. Thanks to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, our center can help women in need.
