Health of Women

Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation conducts and collaborates on research that is primarily focused on fulfilling our mission of achieving a future without breast cancer. Many of the projects the Foundation undertakes are designed to increase our understanding of the human breast and what enables malignancy to occur, with the ultimate goal of developing methods to prevent it in the first place. The Foundation is also committed to participation in research that has the potential to positively impact the lives of women and men who are at risk for or who have breast cancer.

The Health of Women (HOW) Study™ is a first-of-its-kind international online study for women and men with and without a history of breast cancer. The study is designed to examine causes, treatment, and prevention of breast cancer. The majority of women who get breast cancer have none of the known clinical risk factors. This means we don’t know what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it.
