TSET partners to advance breast cancer research
October is breast cancer awareness month. As it rolls around we are reminded by the pink ribbons and the awareness and fundraising events that breast cancer is a complex problem that requires a solution on many fronts, including screening, research, treatment and support.
In this issue of our newsletter you’ll read about one part of the comprehensive solution: Drs. Bryan and Alana Welm, a husband-and-wife research team whose work centers on breast cancer.
The TSET board of directors is committed to reducing cancer and cardiovascular disease by reducing the leading causes of each – tobacco use, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition.
