Your help is needed now, more than ever.
Susan G. Komen established the Komen COVID-19 Action Fund to support urgent needs among our breast cancer community today.
Who's At Risk?
The coronavirus pandemic is new, unprecedented and confusing. Komen is committed to keeping you informed with the latest news and guidance as the situation evolves.
Those most vulnerable within the breast cancer community include those living with metastatic breast cancer, breast cancer patients and survivors. Certain breast cancer therapies can cause immune systems to be compromised both during and long after treatment ends.
You can help ensure support continues for those in need, including:
Helpline
Komen’s breast care and clinical trial information helpline.
Treatment Assistance
Helping patients stay in treatment through assistance programs.
Patient Support
Guiding patients through difficult decisions and providing social and emotional support.
Advocacy Efforts
Advocating for breast cancer patients, research, and needs among policy makers.
Research Funding
Funding for lifesaving research and clinical trials.

- Susan G. Komen urges everyone to take care of their health by scheduling routine screenings. We encourage women who feel well and are due or overdue for a screening mammogram to call their doctor and make an appointment. Hospitals and imaging centers are taking many precautions to ensure patients are safe. If you have any warning signs of breast cancer or notice any changes in your breast or underarm area, call your doctor.
