The Breast Cancer Trainees Research Collaborative Group: A New Multidisciplinary Network to Facilitate Breast Cancer Research

UK research data indicate that although there are currently more clinical trials in breast cancer than ever before, the total number of breast cancer patients participating in clinical studies has declined over recent years and there is significant geographical variation in patient involvement in research [1]. Several possible barriers to research participation have been identified. Advances in the subtyping of breast cancers and the increasing complexity of treatments have resulted in a relative lack of low intervention studies with broad eligibility criteria suitable to run at cancer units as well as tertiary centres.
