The International Center for the Study of Breast Cancer Subtypes (ICSBCS) has played a vital role in defining and overcoming many inequities that exist in breast cancer treatment and outcome on a global basis through capacity-building programs that improve the management of breast cancer patients across the African diaspora. ICSBCS activities also fill critical gaps in disparities research related to the genetics of ancestry. Over the past 20 years, ICSBCS teams have spearheaded landmark studies documenting the relevance of genetic African ancestry to breast cancer risk, while also improving the quality of care delivered to patients in diverse communities. Herein, the achievements and future goals of this international, multi-institutional breast cancer research and outreach program are summarized.
国际乳腺癌亚型研究中心(ICSBCS)通过能力建设项目在界定和克服全球乳腺癌治疗及预后方面存在的诸多不平等现象中发挥了至关重要的作用,这些项目改善了散居在非洲各地的乳腺癌患者的管理。ICSBCS的活动还填补了与祖先遗传学相关的差异研究中的关键空白。在过去20年里,ICSBCS团队率先开展了具有里程碑意义的研究,记录了非洲遗传血统与乳腺癌风险的相关性,同时还提高了为不同社区患者提供的护理质量。在此总结该国际多机构乳腺癌研究及推广项目的成就和未来目标。
