BHGI-INCTR Breast Cancer Control Library — an “Open Source” for LMCs
The Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI) and the International Network for Cancer Treatment and Research (INCTR) have collaborated to create a unique on-line breast cancer literature library. The BHGI-INCTR Breast Cancer Control Library includes a searchable catalogue listing nearly 6,000 published references relevant to breast health care and cancer control in LMCs.
The original database of references was assembled by the CDC Foundation through a grant provided by Komen for the Cure. INCTR is adding nearly 5,000 references to this new resource, making it the most comprehensive database for breast cancer control in low and middle income countries. In addition to the searchable catalogue, the on-line BHGI-INCTR Breast Cancer Control Library provides downloadable documents such as the 2008 BHGI Consensus Guidelines (published in Cancer).
