Ignite the Cancer Conversation

History of Ignite the Cancer Conversation:
Ignite the Cancer Conversation was created in 2016 by BPT advocates who returned inspired from the annual summit of the National Breast Can​cer Coalition.  Energized by conversations with international interdisciplinary teams working with cutting edge breast cancer research, doctors implementing new treatments, and passionate patient advocates, we decided to bring the NBCC summit to Iowa. Our broadest vision is a world without cancer. Our near vision seeks to have many conversations that can catalyze purposeful actions that will build that future world. 

Ignite the Cancer Conversation events have informed participants of…
  • promising research on cancer vaccines
  • cancer prevention
  • environmental risks of cancer such as radon, pesticides, and water pollution
  • the history of cancer and cancer treatment
  • the importance of patient-centered, evidence-based quality care
  • roadblocks to ending cancer
  • how to become a more effective advocate for cancer-related issues
