We are thrilled to highlight the incredible work of Professor Sherene Loi, an NBCF Endowed Chair and world-renowned breast cancer researcher. Professor Loi at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre led a pivotal phase 3 clinical trial investigating the addition of immunotherapy (nivolumab) to standard chemotherapy for patients with patients with early-stage estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and HER2-negative (HER2−) breast cancer. The study revealed a significant increase in pathological complete response (pCR) rates, meaning more people had no signs of cancer after treatment when immunotherapy was added. For those with specific immune markers in their tumors, the benefits were even greater. You can read the article in Nature Medicine: https://lnkd.in/g92ZUYBV   What does this mean for people living with breast cancer? This research represents a potential new treatment pathway, offering hope for better outcomes, especially for those with high-risk, early-stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer. It demonstrates the growing role of immunotherapy in tackling breast cancer and the importance of personalised approaches to treatment.   Thank you, Professor Loi, for your tireless commitment to advancing breast cancer treatment and improving lives.   If you want to learn more on how NBCF is supporting transformative breast cancer research to realise our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer visit https://lnkd.in/gYr2g-AV   #NBCF #BreastCancer #BreastCancerResearch #PinkHorizon #Impact #Immunotherapy #Collaboration #PeterMac #BristolMyersSquibb

FY2023/24 was another big year for the National Breast Cancer Foundation thanks to all our supporters.     📢 We announced our five-year Pink Horizon Research Strategy, an ambitious and transformational plan which will provide significant, sustained funding to increase the scale and catalyse the research needed to answer the critical questions to achieve our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.    🔬 We invested $13.5 million for 19 new research projects each with different objectives but all with a clear line of sight to stop deaths from breast cancer. Plus, we awarded two research fellowships.    💰 We hit a record-breaking $49.7 million raised for world-class research. This money was raised in various ways by our dedicated supporters including our Pink Diamond Partner, Mother's Day Classic Foundation, community fundraisers, partners and donors who choose to donate in a range of ways.    🎉 We celebrated our 30th anniversary and three decades of partnership with our founding partners, David Jones and the The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. We also celebrated milestones with many other supporters - 20 years of partnership with our Diamond Partners, Professionals Real Estate and ghd and 17 years of partnership with Buxton Real Estate Group.    There were awards, television appearances, lab tours, a special pink moment on Sydney Harbour on NYE and so much more.
