The National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) is a grassroots advocacy organization that seeks to improve public policies surrounding breast cancer research, diagnosis and treatment. They launched the Breast Cancer Deadline 2020, a call to action for policymakers, researchers, breast cancer advocates and other stakeholders to eradicate the disease by January 1, 2020. It was founded in 1991 by a group of breast cancer survivors including President Fran Visco. Coalition members include breast cancer support, information and service groups, as well as women’s health and provider organizations. ==Philosophy/Breast Cancer Deadline 2020== The National Breast Cancer Coalition distinguishes itself through its commitment to evidence-based medicine. NBCC supports a medical consumerism model, in which women are educated about their options, their personal risk levels, and the evidence behind the screening programs, and then are empowered to make their own decisions in consultation with their own primary medical providers. Rather than focusing on diagnosis and treatment, NBCC advocates for more research into the environmental causes of breast cancer and cancer prevention. "NBCC advocates believe breast cancer will be eradicated by focusing and aggregating efforts on two key areas: learning how to stop breast cancer metastasis from taking lives and learning how to prevent the disease from developing. At its core, Breast Cancer Deadline 2020 is centered on strategic summits, catalytic workshops and collaborative efforts with a multi-disciplinary and diverse group of stakeholders. NBCC will host two strategic summits in 2011, one each on the topics of metastasis and prevention. At the summits, participants will develop a strategic plan for the associated topic, identifying major issues that are ripe for further work and that would have a significant impact on breast cancer. Catalytic workshops will then be held on these issues in 2012 and beyond. Starting in 2013, NBCC will convene biennial leadership summits with a multi-disciplinary and visionary group to examine progress and provide guidance and direction for the ongoing work to achieve the main goal of Breast Cancer Deadline 2020."
