Questions and Answers about ShareForCures

ShareForCures is a breast cancer research registry by Susan G. Komen, connecting scientists with information from people who have or had breast cancer. When you share your breast cancer data with our registry – along with all other participants – you will help scientists make new discoveries faster.

Scientists need data to inform their work. The more data we can collect from more people who have or had breast cancer, the more useful it is to support research efforts. Breast cancer is different from one person to another—based on your biology and lived experience. We aim to build a robust registry that is as diverse as is the breast cancer community itself. Finding the best ways to conquer metastatic and aggressive breast cancers, eliminate breast cancer disparities and improve health outcomes for everyone is critical. Together, we can do more to save lives.

Today, researchers are learning about breast cancer from a small subset of patients who are not representative of all breast cancer patients being treated across the United States each day. ShareForCures offers people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer a way to participate in research. Sharing your breast cancer information with our registry — along with other people in the ShareForCures community — will help researchers discover cures for breast cancer, faster. Through ShareForCures, we’ll connect different types of health data from thousands of people over time to create one of the most valuable tools available for breast cancer research.
