ABOUT US

Over 25 years ago, medical oncologist, Dr Neil Love, of the University of Miami School of Medicine began launching initiatives to enhance the quality of care provided to breast cancer patients and their families through education of physicians and other healthcare professionals. From these efforts, "Breast Cancer Update" – an audiotape series for medical oncologists – was launched in 1988. Subsequently, versions of the series for surgeons, gynecologists and nurses have also been produced. The programs contain presentations from meetings held throughout the world as well as in-depth interviews with internationally recognized breast cancer research leaders. A recent independent market research study documented that about two-thirds of medical oncologists in the United States regularly listen to the series, which has become a key provider of breast cancer content to oncologists and other healthcare professionals.

This year, we will launch a new version of the series that will include an expanded print booklet and both audio CDs and tapes. Since 1984, this program and others have been implemented via NL Communications, Inc, a unique medical education company that has at its nucleus, a team of healthcare professionals that spearhead these and other oncology education initiatives. Today, our group includes physicians, psychologists and nurses. As clinicians and researchers, we recognize that you are confronted with an overwhelming amount of information in a rapidly developing field. Our goal is to assist you by "going to the source" – providing cutting-edge opinions and presentations.

We believe that the Internet offers an unprecedented opportunity to further our outreach to healthcare professionals and that is why we are developing our most recent initiative, BreastCancerUpdate.com, a website devoted to those who care for women who are at high risk or have developed breast cancer. Our goal is to distill the vast quantity of information that continuously presents itself and provide a useful, relevant resource to stay up-to-date in breast cancer care.

Mission Statement

Sponsorship

Since the inception of the audio series in 1988, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals has generously provided support for the Breast Cancer Update audiotape series through a series of unrestricted educational grants.
