gths, opportunities, aspirations and results (SOAR) assessment of the Pink Virus Project will be done within these small groups; this will be followed by a large group discussion of the strategic plan and conclude with a synthesis of the day's work. The second Breast Cancer Summit for the Pink Virus Project will be announced at this time.

"Everyday breast cancer claims the lives of scores of women around the globe. It's estimated that in 2009 more than 1.3 million women worldwide will contract the disease and tens of thousands will die from it. Despite tens of millions spent on research the epidemic continues to grow and grim statistics remain a reality," said Dr. Kathleen T. Ruddy. "Now is the time to marshal our resources, refine our approach, and direct our efforts towards finding the underlying cause of the disease."
