Despite increases in screening and advances in treatment, breast cancer continues to be the most common cancer and cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide, and breast cancer rates have remained steady for decades. A new focus on population-level primary prevention is needed to tackle this disease at the most fundamental level. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of breast cancer research funds currently go to prevention. The California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) seeks to change this. In order to accelerate breast cancer primary prevention efforts, in 2018, CBCRP launched the Global Challenge to Prevent Breast Cancer, a prize competition to foster and disseminate new and innovative prevention research ideas. This Special Issue highlights the results of the Global Challenge and other CBCRP primary prevention efforts.
尽管筛查有所增加，治疗也有所进步，但乳腺癌仍然是全世界女性中最常见的癌症和癌症死亡原因，而且几十年来乳腺癌发病率一直保持稳定。需要将重点放在人群一级的初级预防上，从最根本的层面上解决这一疾病。遗憾的是，目前只有一小部分乳腺癌研究资金用于预防。加利福尼亚乳腺癌研究计划（CBCRP）旨在改变这一状况。为了加速乳腺癌初级预防工作，CBCRP 于 2018 年发起了全球预防乳腺癌挑战，这是一场有奖竞赛，旨在促进和传播新的创新预防研究思路。本期特刊重点介绍了全球挑战和 CBCRP 初级预防工作的成果。
