How Komen’s research investment has changed the breast cancer landscape

As we’ve come to understand more about the biology of breast cancer, Komen’s research agenda has changed tremendously over the past 10-15 years. Read more about Komen’s research investment.

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is breast cancer, but it is non-invasive. About 55,000 new cases of DCIS are expected to be diagnosed among women in the U.S. in 2013. Learn more now.

Our Mission

It’s simple. We’re fighting breast cancer in Dallas County. How?

Funding programs that support those in the fight to save lives
Educating Dallas County about breast cancer risk factors, the importance of early detection and the resources that are available to them

What We Do

Komen Dallas County serves thousands of Dallas County women in 30 cities as the local source for funding programs that:

provide low-cost or free screening mammograms, diagnostic testing and breast cancer treatment to uninsured or underinsured Dallas County residents
provide support services before, during and after breast cancer treatment

We empower Dallas County residents with information about the importance of early detection and breast health.
We donate 75 percent of net funds raised to vital local breast health services, and dedicate the remaining 25 percent to national research to find the cures.
Since 1992, Komen Dallas County has invested more than $19 million into Dallas County via its annual community grants program to fund breast health programs and services for medically-under served Dallas County residents.

The Difference We Make

Komen Dallas County is part of the big picture to eradicate breast cancer. But we’re also focused on the local needs of our neighbors. We are dedicated to educating Dallas County about breast cancer and the resources available along with funding life-saving screening and treatment programs for our neighbors currently battling this disease. Komen Dallas County funding provided the following in the 2012-13 grant cycle:

5,810 mammograms
1,340 women received case management
1,118 transportation services to medical appointments
784 women received treatment assistance
