YWBCP
The Young Women’s Breast Cancer Program (YWBCP) at the Siteman Cancer began in 2001. Siteman Cancer Center partners with young breast cancer survivors (under the age of 44) to implement strategies that meet the age-relevant needs. Breast cancer is a different disease for these women- typically more aggressive AND more deadly – and yet, there is little funding available for research and support for this age group. The YWBCP offers support and education programs, conducts research focused on early onset breast cancer, and raises awareness regarding the unique issues facing young women diagnosed with the disease. Working together, we believe positive change is possilbe.
