The Scientific Advisor to the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation is Dr. Larry Norton, who is the Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center. His research concerns the basic biology of cancer, the mathematics of tumor causation and growth and the development of approaches to improve diagnosis, prevention and drug treatment. He is specifically identified, however, with an approach to therapy called “dose density,” which is a new and more effective way of using anticancer drugs that maximizes effectiveness while minimizing toxicity.
"The freedom afforded by the flexible funding from CBCF has
encouraged novel explorations that would not have been possible otherwise."
