We’re continuing our series of different types of imaging scans used for MBC by covering bone scans. Bone is the most common site where breast cancer spreads. A bone scan is an imaging test that can detect breast cancer that has spread to the bone. Click here to learn more about what bone scans are, how bone scans are used in MBC, and for clinical trials studying these scans in people with MBC:https://lnkd.in/gcbRGhXT Thank you to Johns Hopkins Medicine, Dr. Jennifer Griggs, and Canadian Cancer Society for providing more information about bone scans. . . . #NonProfit #HealthEquity #breastcancerawareness #breastcancercure #cancer #earlyscreening #clinicaltrials #cancertrials #breastcancertrials #breastcancerresearch #breastcancertreatment #breastcancersupport #clinicalresearch #cancerresearch #Hopeforbreastcancer #Fightagainstbreastcancer #Breastcancertherapy #breastcancermedicine #breastcancerpatients #womenshealth #breastcancercommunity #diseaseresearch #datacollection #BCSM #cancerdata #researchdata #findacure

Integrating high-impact research with clinical processes and systems technology.
关于我们
A 501C(3) charitable organization, Quantum Leap was established in 2005 as a collaboration between medical researchers at University of California, San Francisco and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. Our mission is to integrate high-impact research with clinical processes and systems technology, resulting in improved data management and information systems, greater access to clinical trial matching and sponsorship, and greater benefit to providers, patients and researchers. Our goal is to improve and save lives. The founders of Quantum Leap recognize that good ideas and research projects in a University setting were often “orphaned” at the end of a research project. These efforts were frequently left with no funds or organizational structure to adequately engage clinical providers and ultimately benefit patient care. In addition, the intellectual property often created as part of these research endeavors remain untapped and undeveloped. Modeled after Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurial culture with an added social value objective, our social-entrepreneurial model embodies: + Identifying clinical and research efforts with a potential for high impact + Providing financial and managerial assistance + Forming organizations and management teams to grow proven ideas into products + Securing funding in stages as efforts mature + Creating strategic partnerships committed to developing high-value healthcare services and products We support the development and implementation of innovative ways to deliver better, less costly healthcare. We are committed to establishing unique collaborations across the medical, technology and bioscience industries: all necessary components to accelerate healthcare research into the marketplace. Our efforts focus on quality-of-care and quality-of-life issues, and to create initiatives that foster excellent clinical practices using quality improvement disciplines with a strong patient-centric focus.

Last year, over 55,000 women were diagnosed with DCIS, also known as stage 0 breast cancer. Many of these women may have felt pressure to receive a mastectomy or lumpectomy as treatment for DCIS. The I-SPY RECAST-DCIS Platform Trial is evaluating non-surgical treatments like endocrine therapy as alternatives to surgery. It gives low-risk patients the chance to reduce the risk of over-treatment. For more information about DCIS and this trial, visit: https://lnkd.in/gRRqA783 . . . #HealthcareForAll #InnovateHealthcare #PersonalizedMedicine #PatientCare #HealthEquity #HealthcareInnovation #BridgingResearchAndCare #IntegrityInHealthcare #CollaborativeCare #TransparencyInHealth #FutureOfHealthcare #ScienceAndCare #HealthcareLeadership #HealthForAll #MedicalInnovation #nonprofit #clinicaltrials #datacollection #healthdata #researchdata #diseaseresearch #findacure #nonprofit

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive, early-stage breast cancer where abnormal cells are confined to the milk ducts and haven’t spread beyond them. Although DCIS is not life-threatening, it can increase the risk of developing other types of breast cancer later on. However, there is growing momentum to view DCIS as an opportunity for cancer prevention. While many people with DCIS may be offered only one course of treatment or feel pressure to receive surgery, clinical trials such as the I-SPY RECAST-DCIS Platform Trial are exploring non-invasive alternatives.?? Are you interested in learning more about the I-SPY RECAST trial? Advocates with DCIS are available to speak with you about their experience. You can also learn more about DCIS and the I-SPY RECAST-DCIS Platform Trial at: https://lnkd.in/gRRqA783 . . . #HealthcareForAll #InnovateHealthcare #PersonalizedMedicine #PatientCare #HealthEquity #HealthcareInnovation #BridgingResearchAndCare #IntegrityInHealthcare #CollaborativeCare #TransparencyInHealth #FutureOfHealthcare #ScienceAndCare #HealthcareLeadership #HealthForAll #MedicalInnovation #nonprofit #clinicaltrials #datacollection #healthdata #researchdata #diseaseresearch #findacure #nonprofit

November marks the start of National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, which exists to recognize and show appreciation to all volunteers, healthcare professionals and caregivers who provide compassionate care to those who have been diagnosed with a serious illness. Clinical trials are being done to find better ways to provide palliative care and improve quality of life for people living with breast cancer. Trials include those studying side effect management, complementary and integrative medicine, and support and education.

How does a drug get FDA approved after clinical trials? FDA approval means that the FDA has reviewed the drug’s safety and effectiveness and determined that the drug’s benefits outweigh its risks. Doctors can prescribe FDA-approved drugs to all eligible patients. Click here to learn more about this process as well as certain circumstances in which a drug can receive faster approval from the FDA:https://lnkd.in/gyqNFi5G Thank you to the FDA, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Cancer Research Institute (CRI), and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) for providing more information on this process. . . . #NonProfit #HealthEquity #breastcancerawareness #breastcancercure #cancer #earlyscreening #clinicaltrials #cancertrials #breastcancertrials #breastcancerresearch #breastcancertreatment #breastcancersupport #clinicalresearch #cancerresearch #Hopeforbreastcancer #Fightagainstbreastcancer #Breastcancertherapy #breastcancermedicine #breastcancerpatients #womenshealth #breastcancercommunity #diseaseresearch #datacollection #BCSM #cancerdata #researchdata #findacure

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive breast cancer where abnormal cells are confined to the milk ducts and have not spread to nearby tissue. While not immediately life-threatening, DCIS can raise the risk of developing invasive breast cancer in the future. Currently, treatment options include a lumpectomy or mastectomy. A new clinical trial is exploring ways to reduce aggressive treatments, aiming to preserve as much of the breast as possible while minimizing toxicity for patients. For more information on this trial and eligibility, visit: https://lnkd.in/gRRqA783 . . . #HealthcareForAll #InnovateHealthcare #PersonalizedMedicine #PatientCare #HealthEquity #HealthcareInnovation #BridgingResearchAndCare #IntegrityInHealthcare #CollaborativeCare #TransparencyInHealth #FutureOfHealthcare #ScienceAndCare #HealthcareLeadership #HealthForAll #MedicalInnovation #nonprofit #clinicaltrials #datacollection #healthdata #researchdata #diseaseresearch #findacure #nonprofit?
