PRIORITIES

What Do We Want:

CureCulture is a hub for people who want to end the breast cancer epidemic and who are willing to do so through meaningful activism and strategic partnerships with organizations, leaders, groups, researchers, legislation and law makers who are laser-focused on these priorities below.  We believe these demands will curtail the breast cancer epidemic that is unrelenting and outsmarting our current strategies.  Systemic change, not the status quo, will decrease the incident and mortality rate and will turn the corner toward a cure.  

1. Robust unlimited Government funding for groundbreaking research aimed at preventing, treating and eradicating the breast cancer epidemic. 
2. Updated breast health prevention strategies that include 1) Risk assessment as integral in ending the Breast Cancer epidemic and disease management 2) Remove the age threshold limiting risk assessment and risk reduction guidance, and breast screening as a covered benefit set forth by the US Preventive Service Task Force. 3) Provide safe and modern breast imaging technology options (free of exposure to ionizing radiation, a known carcinogen). 
3. Affordable accessible healthcare wherein people everywhere regardless of payer or ability to pay have timely access to risk assessment, early screening, prevention medicine and treatment without prejudice or barrier; and wherein medical providers are rewarded for such practices and clinical trials are decentralized for people access. 
4.  Rigorous cure research, vaccine development and clinical trials as central to eradicating the breast cancers epidemic.
5.  Precision medicine and AI for all patients including risk assessments, screenings, diagnosis, and treatment for the best outcomes for all breast cancers. 
6. Oversight of Pharmaceutical and Biotech Companies to regulate   market control and prevent hijacking cost of medications or hindering access to medications.  “We should not be figuring out how to pay more for drugs to increase profit, but how to completely revise the system so that across the board, costs are based on real value to patients." NBCC.
7.  Identify and eliminate environmental exposures in our food, water, air and materials we use or consume or produce that are known carcinogens. Demand regulated manufacturing so that public health is a  priority and above profits.
8. Leverage people everywhere to demand action on the above priorities and to back organizations, leaders, scientists, and lawmakers who are making headway on these priorities at neck-breaking speed to curtail the breast cancer epidemic.
