Profile of MBC Alliance Members
The Alliance members are as diverse as the people they serve.
The majority of the nonprofit members focus on meeting the information and support needs
of the breast cancer community. Within this group, several Alliance members specialize
in supporting women with particular types of breast cancer (Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Research Foundation, Triple Negative Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and Triple Step
Toward the Cure). A small number of members support and/or advocate for people with
any type of cancer (American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, CancerCare, Cancer
Support Community, Patient Advocate Foundation). Two Alliance members—AdvancedBC.org
and the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network—focus exclusively on MBC (Figure 9).
