Breast Cancer Canada is forming a national patient reported outcomes (PROs*) registry to track the experiences of breast cancer patients at any stage over the span of time. By participating in this research study, your breast cancer experience will be captured by answering survey questionnaires four times per year. Your voice along with thousands of other breast cancer thrivers, will provide essential insight to researchers and the wider medical community. One person’s breast cancer journey is powerful.
