Breastcancer.org
We help people get the best care possible.
When dealing with breast cancer, most women feel overwhelmed by vast amounts of information, and are terrified by the burden of having to make critical decisions quickly. In 1999, Dr. Marisa Weiss, a nationally renowned breast oncologist, founded Breastcancer.org to address these growing needs. Breastcancer.org is dedicated to providing the most reliable, complete, and up-to-date information about breast cancer. Our mission is to help women and their loved ones make sense of the complex medical and personal information about breast cancer, so they can make the best decisions for their lives.
We want to ensure that people have access to expert guidance on the multilayered and vast amount of breast cancer information, treatment, and research available. Breastcancer.org is committed to being a trusted resource for both patients and caregivers because we believe that everyone should have the greatest care possible for their unique needs.
Breastcancer.org is a nonprofit organization founded in 2000 by breast oncologist Marisa C. Weiss, M.D., and born out of her conviction that people with breast cancer need more information and support than a doctor's visit can provide.
Since 2000, we have reached 174 million people worldwide. Breastcancer.org receives more than 28 million visits each year, and we host and manage the world’s largest online breast cancer peer community, with over 220,000 registered members throughout our history.
