Hi, and thanks for checking us out! The fact that you found us probably means you hate cancer as much as I do! If you’ve been here before, you may notice the new name, but please know I have the same goal…. BREAST CANCER VACCINES, FASTER. Over the past 12 weeks, I have traveled thousands of miles to meet with researchers, government, biopharma, and even international partners. We have an amazing team committed to the change we all want and deserve: A shot at better treatments and outcomes.
I have the same pledge I did when I announced on the TODAY Show I was leaving my job as a NBC News correspondent: I will work tirelessly to accelerate breast cancer vaccines. The science is there, and our new name better explains our mission, while our new structure will help us get there FASTER. I hope you join us as we grow the Cancer Vaccine Coalition. We’ll keep you updated as things evolve, but we hope to start funding our first clinical trials in 2024! Thanks for your continued support and please reach out to us. Together we can do this!

We’re finally at a point
where we will see
cancer vaccines
approved for clinical use in the near future

A BOLD
COLLABORATION
FOR BREAST CANCER VACCINES.
WE ARE bringing together the greatest minds in research to accelerate breast cancer vaccines.
WE ARE breast cancer survivors and scientists, leading a movement to create less damaging, more effective treatment options for everyone.
WE ARE NOT going to stop until no one else has to go through what we have.
“
No one should have to go through painful cancer treatments, or die, when we have the science to train our own immune systems to effectively fight off cancer.

THE TIME IS NOW.
Scientists are on the cusp of
therapeutic breast cancer vaccines.
In early stage trials, vaccines have stopped
progression and prevented recurrence
in patients.
By collaborating efficiently and with a laser focus on accelerating vaccines, scientists believe they can shave
years off of the process, bringing breast cancer vaccines to market within 5-10 years or less, saving hundreds of
thousands of lives.
