TORONTO, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In an exclusive interview, Xtalks delves into the current state of breast cancer research, highlighting the role of clinical trials and the integration of patient perspectives in clinical research. Featuring Dr. David Cameron, Chair of the Breast International Group (BIG), the discussion revolves around the importance of collaboration and patient involvement in breast cancer clinical research.
Dr. Cameron emphasized the importance of international collaboration in advancing breast cancer research. BIG, as the leading global network of academic breast clinical trialists, is spearheading international efforts to innovate treatment options and
understand the complexities of breast cancer.
