The Breast International Group (BIG) is an international not-for-profit organisation founded over 20 years ago by Professors Martine Piccart and Aron Goldhirsch. It now represents the largest global network of academic research groups dedicated to finding better treatments and cures for breast cancer.
Its mission is to facilitate and accelerate breast cancer research at an international level. BIG thinks globally and acts locally, helping breast cancer patients from all over the world.
BIG against breast cancer was created to raise funds and help finance clinical trials and research programmes initiated by BIG that have no commercial interest but are crucial for patients.
