Abstract

TRANSBIG comprises 28 world-class institutions in 11 countries. Each participating organization brings with it expertise that ranges from specialization in cutting-edge biomedical technologies and cancer treatment programs to representing patient groups and supporting cancer societies. Among its many strengths is the fact that TRANSBIG is linked to an already existing network of groups from around the world that conduct clinical breast cancer trials together – the Breast International Group (BIG).

Mission

The main objectives of TRANSBIG were:

to accelerate the way laboratory discoveries for breast cancer “translate” into treatments for patients (translational research)

to advance personalized treatment for breast cancer patients

to strengthen and facilitate collaboration in translational breast cancer research in Europe and internationally
