That’s great news A message from our CEO because it means our research, education and advocacy efforts are having an impact. But with one in nine Canadian women still vulnerable to a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime, there is still much work to be done. We are working towards a future where no women or men are affected by this illness. Opening doors to promising discoveries Advancing innovative research A breast cancer diagnosis is a life-changing experience. This year our investments in research are shedding new light on how to prevent, detect, diagnose and treat breast cancer, and how to further enhance the quality of life for those who have been affected by this disease. In 2013, we awarded $8.4 million in grants to support 17 breast cancer research projects and 17 training fellowships in Ontario. It is thanks in large part to the work of dedicated breast cancer scientists and clinicians that we are seeing more targeted and less invasive treatments, fewer side effects, and better outcomes. Research is saving lives. As you will see in this report, CBCF-funded researchers are hard at work exploring ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, treat, and improve the quality of life for women and their families affected by breast cancer. We build on their success by translating their work into meaningful education and advocacy initiatives that empower women to make informed decisions about their health. As a scientist, I feel privileged to be working with researchers who are among the brightest in Canada and who are at the forefront in advancing what we know about breast cancer. In 2013, researchers are working on more than 180 CBCF-funded research projects. Championing the role of volunteers Thanks to the generous support of CIBC and Shoppers Drug Mart we visited 124 Ontario communities this year, providing valuable information about the benefits of breast cancer screening. We also intensified our efforts to reduce the incidence of breast cancer by offering women evidence-based information and practical steps to help them improve their health and reduce their breast cancer risk. In the 27 years the Foundation has been supporting women with breast cancer, we have remained a community-driven organization. People get involved supporting the breast cancer cause in so many ways and if it weren’t for the thousands of supporters and participants who take part in community events across the province, our work wouldn’t be possible. Through this year’s report you will read stories of individuals who, in their own special way, are making a difference. In my first year as Board Chair, I am humbled by this overwhelming, and much needed, support. Be proud of the great strides you are helping us make towards realizing a brighter future for our friends, colleagues, and family members affected by breast cancer. Together with your continued support, we will create a future without breast cancer. Sandra Palmaro CEO, Ontario Region Dr. Gurmit Singh Chair, Ontario Region Board of Directors From our National Chair The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation transforms the passion and commitment of our community into meaningful change. We’re proud to be the largest nongovernment funder of breast cancer research, thanks to your support. We hope you share that pride. Our research grants fund high impact research at both the national and regional level. In 2012, the Foundation provided $3.2 million in national grant funding to eight innovative projects focused on advancing new technologies for detecting cancer at its earliest stages – everything from exploring the potential of 3D digital tomosynthesis as a more precise screening tool, to examining “spintronic” microwave image sensing as a comfortable, safe, portable and cost effective imaging technique. On these pages, you can also see highlights of recent regional research grants. Together, through the funding of research projects at both the national and regional level, we are able to support the best and brightest researchers from across the country. We also fund health education and advocacy programs at the community level to meet the distinct needs of the diverse country we serve. As you can see from these stories, your support is bringing us closer to realizing our vision of creating a future without breast cancer.

I don’t want Kennedy to have to worry.” Linking workplace environment with prevention Studying the cognitive impact of preventative ovarian removal Making dietary choices to reduce risk Reducing breast cancer risk in high risk women 7 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Linking workplace environment with prevention Dr. James Brophy and Dr. Margaret Keith Windsor, Ontario – $196,078 This landmark study, which gained international attention, provides new evidence to help inform discussions with governments, industry, health care providers and stakeholders about the serious effects that occupational risk factors can have on the development of breast cancer. The lead researchers, Dr. Brophy and Dr. Keith, along with an international team of co-investigators, found an average increase in breast cancer risk of 42 per cent among women who work for a 10-year period in environments with high-risk exposure to carcinogens and hormone-disrupting chemicals. Their work has created the first research database in Canada that links work history and chemical and other risk exposures to health outcomes. The findings are leading to tangible actions we can take to prevent the disease. Making dietary choices to reduce risk Dr. Michelle Cotterchio Toronto, Ontario– $371,897 Previous research studies have suggested that eating foods with phytoestrogens – substances which mimic estrogen and can be found in plants such as soy and flaxseed – may help reduce the risk of breast cancer. This study found a link between women who consumed a greater amount of phytoestrogens when they were adolescents and a lower risk of breast cancer. Recent research by this group suggests that these findings may be most relevant for postmenopausal breast cancer, and particular tumour subgroups such as estrogen receptor-positive breast tumours. If this is confirmed by future research, this could lead to new strategies for prevention and allow young women to make dietary choices that may reduce their risk of developing breast cancer. co-funded by the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance Reducing breast cancer risk in high risk women Studying the cognitive impact of preventative ovarian removal Dr. Gillian Einstein Toronto, Ontario – $371,897 Women who carry breast cancer gene mutations, BRCA1 or BRCA2, are routinely counselled to have their ovaries removed to reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. However, the resulting loss of estrogen production premenopause may have negative effects on other body systems, particularly the brain, placing women at risk for dementia. This study is looking at the cognitive impacts on women who have had their ovaries removed as a preventive measure. The results will help women at high risk for breast cancer, who are considering this procedure, to better understand its risks and benefits. Dr. Joanne Kotsopoulos Toronto, Ontario– $371,897 Less than 10 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a family history of the disease. There is, however, no scientific evidence on how various risk factors (i.e. hormonal contraceptives, diet or lifestyle) might influence breast cancer development in women without a genetic mutation but with a strong family history of breast cancer. There are also no guidelines in place to instruct the counselling and care of women from high-risk families who don’t have the breast cancer gene mutation, BRCA. This study explores the role of genetic and non-genetic factors to determine best practices in the care of these vulnerable women, including targeted prevention and screening options to help reduce their risk. 8 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Brenda Stover Mother, singer and awareness advocate, Tillsonburg, Ontario When Brenda walked into her local CIBC branch last year, little did she know that it would lead to a breast cancer diagnosis. The bank teller suggested she visit CBCF’s Pink Tour bus stationed in the parking lot to book her first mammogram. At the age of 50, with no family history of breast cancer, Brenda was shocked when she later learned she had a lump. Brenda’s story is a testament to the importance of early detection, and she encourages other women to get screened regularly. Improving screening rates among under-screened women Conveying the importance of screening guidelines to women at risk Improving earlier detection of cancer spread Somatostatin receptor antagonists for early detection of breast cancer with positron emission mammography 9 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Improving screening rates among under-screened women Ms. Victoria Nadalin Conveying the importance of screening guidelines to women at risk Toronto, Ontario– $299,078 Dr. Paul Ritvo and Dr. Anna Chiarelli Despite the existence of Ontario’s universally funded breast cancer screening program, there are groups of women in the province who are either not screened as often as is recommended, or are not being screened at all - including women who are elderly, new Canadians, and women who live in rural and underserviced areas. This community-based research study involving Cancer Care Ontario and the Ontario Women’s Health Network sought to assess why under-and never-screened women eligible for the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) are not accessing the service. Peer-led focus groups were held in Timmins, Toronto, and Peel Region. Barriers to screening reported by the women included that most were not aware they could access the OBSP without a referral, while others were unaware as to what a mammogram was, and some were concerned about possibly having a male technician perform their exam. These results highlight areas where improved information (such as the ability to request a female technician) could lead to enhanced screening amongst under-and never-screened women. For better detection rates and the improved chance of diagnosing small tumours, it is recommended that women with a family history of breast cancer receive breast cancer screenings at an earlier age and with more frequency. Dr. Ritvo and Dr. Chiarelli’s study looked at screening behaviour and its relation to perceived risk of breast cancer in a group of women with a family history of the illness in order to better understand barriers to screening for women in this group. Results indicate that women with a family history of breast cancer are more likely to screen at the recommended time intervals when they believe those intervals are appropriate. Screening frequency was not associated with women’s beliefs about their own risk factors, which suggests that more emphasis on screening frequently is needed for women who may be at higher risk of developing breast cancer. Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation-funded fellow Meghan Walker, who is supervised by Dr. Chiarelli, is conducting research to better understand adherence to screening among high-risk women, which will inform the development of more effective strategies for promoting screening in this group. Toronto, Ontario–$657,028 co-funded by the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance 10 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Improving earlier detection of cancer spread Dr. Vasiliki Economopolous London, Ontario–$75,000 The spread of cancer (metastasis) is the main cause of cancer-related death. Cancer cells spread by traveling through either the lymphatic system or blood vessels. The goal of this study was to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect and track small numbers of cancer cells through the lymphatic system by using a targeted imaging approach. The research demonstrated the existence of very slow growing cancer cells that could be responsible for metastasis. These cells would not be targeted by traditional cancer treatments, which target rapidly dividing cells, and could hide for up to several years before starting to grow more rapidly. This research highlights a method for identifying these cells before they establish new tumours, providing an opportunity to develop treatments that would target them and prevent metastasis. Somatostatin receptor antagonists for early detection of breast cancer with positron emission mammography Dr. François Bénard Vancouver, British Columbia–$356,000 Dr. Bénard’s research has been instrumental in applying a new process of making radioactive medicine without using aged nuclear reactors. For Canadian scientists, this development could go a long way toward solving the world’s shortage of medical isotopes, as it uses hospital cyclotrons to make the compounds and bypasses the need for reactors. Dr. Bénard’s research focuses on studying a new generation of radiotracers that target somatostatin receptors, molecules that are present in almost all breast cancers. Positron emission mammography (PEM) is a promising technology for detecting smaller breast cancers at an early stage, but is limited by the imaging markers, or radiotracers, which currently miss up to 20 per cent of tumours. This research holds promise for improving the early detection of breast cancer in women who are at high personal risk. 11 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Poonam Batra Medical student and top fundraiser, Burlington, Ontario As a medical student and breast cancer survivor, Poonam is a strong advocate for early breast cancer detection. In her second year of medical school she discovered a lump in her breast. “It was really eye opening to me that it doesn’t necessarily matter whether there’s a family history, what your age is, or how healthy you are. It can happen to anyone.” The 26 year-old was celebrated as the top Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure fundraiser in the Post-Secondary Challenge. She plans to become a family doctor and heavily incorporate breast cancer awareness into her practice and work. Using optical imaging to advance surgical practice Increasing coordination of diagnostic care Enhancing the sensitivity of imaging for breast cancer detection Improving imaging and screening to detect tumours Using DNA repair genes to discover new ways of predicting survival in breast cancer 12 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Using optical imaging to advance surgical practice Increasing coordination of diagnostic care Dr. Ralph DaCosta Dr. Anna Gagliardi Toronto, Ontario–$436,106 Toronto, Ontario– $431,306 Tremendous advances have been made in imaging technology over the past 10 to 15 years, including the emergence of optical imaging techniques. This research has the potential to improve how breast cancer is diagnosed and treated by addressing two unmet needs. One being new diagnostic tools that are non-invasive and don’t use radioactive chemicals. Another being a new way to ensure the complete removal of every tumour cell during the initial surgery. “We believe the combination of non-invasive fluorescence and photoacoustics imaging techniques can be used effectively to guide both diagnosis and treatment, reducing the need for additional surgeries and minimizing the possibility of recurrence.” Dr. DaCosta and his team are already working with Health Canada to ensure that their work can quickly transition from research in the lab to where it is directly helping patients. People with cancer receive better care when health care professionals work together to coordinate services and make decisions. Several Diagnostic Assessment Programs (DAPs) have been established in hospitals in Ontario to coordinate diagnostic tests to improve the quality of care delivered to women and men being tested for breast and lung cancer. This study analyzes information collected from DAPs to evaluate the inter-professional collaborative care being provided and to determine the quality of diagnostic services. The results will be used to improve coordination of care within existing and new DAPs during what is a very stressful time for individuals who are awaiting their results. 13 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Enhancing the sensitivity of imaging for breast cancer detection Eva Razumienko Toronto, Ontario–$112,500 This project focused on the development of innovative agents (chemicals) to enhance the detection of breast cancer using imaging technology. The research established an agent with the ability to detect HER2-positive breast cancer. The results of this research will help develop methods for detecting specific characteristics of tumours throughout the body, identifying appropriate treatments, and monitoring patient response to treatment. Improving imaging and screening to detect tumours Dr. Martin Yaffe Toronto, Ontario–$302,503 Conventional techniques for examining breast cancer and surrounding tissues removed during a lumpectomy are limited because they only allow for examination of a small two-dimensional portion of the tissue. This study seeks to use three-dimensional (3D) pathology to better assess whether tissue removed through lumpectomy has clean margins (i.e. no cancer in the tissue surrounding the tumour). Given the positive results of this study, pathologists at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre who specialize in breast care are incorporating 3D pathology as part of their routine clinical practice. co-funded by the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance Using DNA repair genes to discover new ways of predicting survival in breast cancer Dr. Sambasivarao Damaraju Edmonton, Alberta – $199,184 Discovering a genetic marker for breast cancer recurrence could renew hope for patients and families. You’ve survived breast cancer only to have it come back, and now the disease is more aggressive and may be resistant to treatment. Numerous women face this frightening scenario, but the discovery of a genetic marker that predicts the risk of recurrence is a beacon of hope for the future. Dr. Damaraju, a professor with the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta and the Cross Cancer Institute, and his team tested the DNA of 369 women in Alberta diagnosed with good prognosis breast cancer (called Luminal A) and discovered the marker. Because women with Luminal A breast cancers tend to have a good survival rate, they are not treated with the aggressive treatments used for other types of breast cancer. For 15-20 per cent of women, however, the cancer recurs and is usually fatal. A marker that predicts the risk of recurrence could identify which women would benefit from a more aggressive form of cancer therapy. 14 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Irene Chevalier Survivor and RE/MAX employee, Welland, Ontario After watching her sister battle the disease, Irene knew what to expect when in 2011 she was told that she had stage III breast cancer. Irene is thankful for the treatment she received and grateful to her employer, RE/MAX, for its ongoing support of CBCF’s investment in breast cancer research. “The care, research, knowledge, and everything was huge. Because of them I’m here. I’m alive.” Studying cancer stem cells to better understand and prevent metastasis Predicting outcome and efficacy of treatment at diagnosis Monitoring tumour response to treatment non-invasively Understanding how cancer-killing viruses work New therapy for locally-advanced breast cancer using gold nanobombs Cellular and molecular effects of the dietary photochemical piperine on triple-negative breast cancer cells 15 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Predicting outcome and efficacy of treatment at diagnosis Studying cancer stem cells to better understand and prevent metastasis Dr. Alison Allan London, Ontario–$449,733 While most women survive breast cancer, once the disease spreads, or metastasises beyond the breast, survival rates decline. For reasons that are not well understood, breast cancer cells, if they spread, are predisposed to target the lymph nodes, bones, brain, lungs and liver. This research focuses on studying the interactions between cancer stem cells, which are responsible for metastasis, and these sites to better understand why breast cancer spreads to certain organs in the body first. “Cancer cells are like chameleons. They adapt to changes in their environment and figure out the best way to survive, so we need to figure out what factors are helping those cancer stem cells grow and design treatments that can interfere with that relationship.” The study has already identified some specific factors produced by the lungs that may lead to aggressive metastatic tumours there. These exciting results could lay the groundwork for developing treatments targeting these factors. Dr. Anita Bane Hamilton, Ontario –$380,918 Dr. Bane’s team previously developed a test (using a gene signature) that can accurately predict the outcome at diagnosis for women with basal-like breast cancer, a type of breast cancer that has poor outcomes for 30-40 per cent of women. Dr. Bane’s current research aims to simplify this test, which is too complex to be used in standard practice, so that health professionals could easily use it on samples that are routinely collected. If successful, this project could enable some patients with basal-like breast cancer to avoid toxic chemotherapy, improving their quality of life. Monitoring tumour response to treatment non-invasively Dr. Greg Czarnota Toronto, Ontario–$428,016 Up to one-fifth of new breast cancer diagnoses are locally advanced (i.e. spread beyond the breast tissue), with a five-year survival rate of approximately 55 per cent. Ensuring that treatment is effective is crucial to long-term survival. Current methods of assessing patients’ responses to a specific treatment are based on physical measurements of tumour size, which can take several months to become visible. Dr. Czarnota and his team investigated whether conventional, non-invasive ultrasound could be used to monitor treatment response in patients with locally advanced breast cancer receiving chemotherapy prior to surgery. This study established, for the first time, the feasibility of using this type of ultrasound to detect response to treatment within weeks of starting chemotherapy (rather than months), creating a new tool with which to more accurately personalize cancer treatment for women with breast cancer. 16 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Understanding how cancer-killing viruses work Dr. Karen Mossman Hamilton, Ontario–$748,560 Metastatic breast tumours, tumours that have spread to other organs or parts of the body, do not respond well to standard treatments and thus new treatment options are needed. A promising new approach involves the use of viruses that kill cancer cells but not healthy cells. This study aims to understand how a herpes simplex virus could be tailored to kill cancer functions, and will determine if it can target cancer stem cells, which cause metastasis. The research will also investigate how a herpes simplex virus manipulates the immune system to attack existing tumour cells. The results of this study could have a significant impact on the treatment available for metastatic breast cancer. co-funded by the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance Cellular and molecular effects of the dietary photochemical piperine on triple-negative breast cancer cells Dr. David Hoskin Halifax, Nova Scotia–$100,000 Dr. Hoskin, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – Atlantic Region Endowed Chair in Breast Cancer Research, based at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, recently discovered that piperine – from the spice black pepper – is able to trigger cell death in breast cancer cells, while not harming healthy cells. Together with his team, Dr. Hoskin is now working to determine how piperine kills triple-negative breast cancer cells and prevents their spread. Triple-negative breast cancers are an aggressive and difficult-to-treat form of the disease. Ultimately, Dr. Hoskin’s work will provide a basis for the possible use of piperine in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer caused by triple-negative breast cancer cells. New therapy for locally-advanced breast cancer using gold nanobombs Dr. Raymond Reilly Toronto, Ontario–$444,456 Dr. Reilly’s research aims to develop a new radiation treatment for patients whose breast cancer is locally advanced and has spread from the breast to nearby tissue or lymph nodes, also known as stage III breast cancer. Women with stage III breast cancer have a lower survival rate (60-70 per cent) than the 90 per cent of women who survive when diagnosed before the cancer has spread. Currently, most stage III breast cancer patients receive chemotherapy to reduce the tumour size, followed by surgery, radiation and additional treatments. Dr. Reilly is collaborating with Dr. Jean-Philippe Pignol, a radiation oncologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Their goal is to develop a better method for post-surgery radiation using “gold nanobombs” – small particles of gold that target the tumour in three different ways, through antibodies, radiation treatment and chemotherapy – which would be injected at the surgery site to target and eradicate any residual cancer cells. If successful, this new radiation treatment could be a highly effective option, having little or no impact on healthy tissues, resulting in fewer side effects. 17 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Bronwyn Best Survivor and chief cake maker, Toronto, Ontario “It’s scary when you’re told you have it,” as Bronwyn learned when she was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 years ago. Since that time, Bronwyn has perfected a white chocolate cheesecake with rhubarb swirl recipe featured at her annual Cakes for Cancer fundraiser for CBCF. “This event is as much about education as it is about raising funds for research. Many of us have been touched by breast cancer, but we’ll only know that if people talk about it.” Confirming the cognitive effects of chemotherapy Developing chronic pain interventions for older women Advancing new techniques for clinical breast reconstruction Evaluating a new program for breast cancer-related pain relief 18 prevention | detection | diagnosis | treatment | quality of life Confirming the cognitive effects of chemotherapy Dr. Barbara Collins Ottawa, Ontario–$403,606 Many patients who receive chemotherapy as a treatment for breast cancer complain of longterm problems with cognitive processes such as concentration, memory, forgetfulness, and multitasking. Until now, these symptoms have often been attributed to the depression or stress associated with breast cancer. Dr. Collins’ study looked at the cognitive impact of chemotherapy by testing women before, during and after chemotherapy treatments. Cognitive performance declined progressively with each chemotherapy treatment, providing compelling evidence for a direct link between chemotherapy and cognitive issues among women with breast cancer. “While further research is needed to better understand this phenomenon, I have already used evidence from the study in my clinical practice to convince an employer to provide special work accommodations for an employee whose cognitive issues were having an impact on her productivity.” These findings will inform the development of treatments designed to help minimize these effects. Advancing new techniques for clinical breast reconstruction Dr. John Semple Toronto, Ontario–$750,000 CBCF-Ontario Region has funded the first ever Research Chair in Breast Cancer Surgery in Canada. As the inaugural chair, Dr. Semple is focusing on three areas of breast cancer research: 1) advancing new techniques in clinical breast reconstruction following mastectomy that will provide increased options for women who aren’t normally suited to breast reconstruction; 2) investigating the effects of radiation and surgery on lymph nodes that can lead to swelling of an arm or leg (lymphedema); and 3) innovative models of patient care in ambulatory settings that highlight best practices, patient safety and quality of life. Many of the findings from Dr. Semple’s research are already in practice at Women’s College Hospital and other hospitals across the country. Developing chronic pain interventions for older women Evaluating a new program for breast cancer-related pain relief Dr. Lucia Gagliese Dr. Patricia Poulin Toronto, Ontario–$747,490 Ottawa, Ontario–$414,000 Following breast cancer surgery, many women experience moderate to severe pain, and up to 60 per cent develop chronic pain. Older women represent the largest group of breast cancer surgery patients and they may be at greater risk than younger patients for unrelieved pain, longer than normal recovery, and chronic pain. Preliminary results from this study indicate that over 50 per cent of women who have surgery as a treatment for breast cancer will develop pain that persists for at least six months. This study may help guide the development of interventions to prevent the likelihood of persistent pain. More than half of women who have had breast cancer suffer nervous systemrelated chronic pain that can be debilitating and significantly affect their quality of life. Because medical treatment alone is often not enough to relieve the pain, this study will evaluate an eight-week program that combines medical treatment and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) for the relief of breast cancer-related pain. Since MBSR has proven to successfully alleviate pain for other conditions, this research will help determine whether it is also an effective treatment for women being treated for breast cancer and suffering from nervous system-related chronic pain. co-funded by the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance 19 20 Dr. Muriel Brackstone, Fellow ‘04 Through its Fellowship Awards, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation supports the training of emerging breast cancer researchers and health care providers by funding research, clinical and professional practice opportunities. Since the program was launched in 1999, more than 180 fellows have received training in the breast cancer field, demonstrating that CBCF is committed to educating promising individuals who are passionate about a career in breast cancer. Dr. Muriel Brackstone, a surgical oncologist, received a CBCF fellowship in 2004, and trained with specialists at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. Her fellowship provided her with the expertise necessary to establish a comprehensive multidisciplinary clinic at the London Regional Cancer Centre, where mammograms, biopsies, surgeries and other procedures are offered in one location, enhancing the coordination of care for women during a difficult time. In addition, Dr. Brackstone has incorporated a research component in the clinic, creating a synergy of productivity among leading researchers that is hastening new discoveries. Reflecting on her fellowship with CBCF, Dr. Brackstone said, “I will be forever grateful for that opportunity,” and has since initiated a fellowship program in London. CBCF-funded fellows: Kimberly Cullen Dr. Andrea Covelli Dr. Breanne Cuddington Dr. Jory Simpson Dr. Philip Medeiros 21 Kimberly Cullen Toronto, Ontario Enhancing quality of life through online couples-based sexual therapy – $112,500 Ms. Cullen is a promising young clinical psychologist who firmly believes that sexual health needs a strong voice within the breast cancer community. “I hope to elevate the importance of sexual health from its bottom shelf status to a key factor for consideration in the overall quality of life of women affected by breast cancer.” The prevalence of sexual dysfunction and distress among women Kimberly Cullen Dr. Andrea Covelli diagnosed with breast cancer is not well known, but is estimated to range from 21-94 per cent. Ms. Cullen is using her fellowship to examine the impact of an online, couples-based intervention designed to address sexual problems commonly encountered by breast cancer survivors and their partners. She has contributed to the work of CBCF-funded researcher Dr. Karen Fergus, whose Couplelinks project is an innovative online intervention for couples dealing with breast cancer. Ms. Cullen believes that participation in this intervention has the potential to not only alleviate sexual distress, but also to empower breast cancer survivors to openly discuss the impact of the illness on their sexual quality of life. Dr. Breanne Cuddington Dr. Jory Simpson Dr. Philip Medeiros 22 Dr. Andrea Covelli Toronto, Ontario Breanne Cuddington Hamilton, Ontario While it’s recommended that women with early breast cancer undergo breastsparing surgery (removal of tumour and some normal tissue, also known as a lumpectomy) many women over the past five years have opted for more extensive surgeries, including removal of the breast with cancer and the one without. This fellowship focuses on why women choose mastectomy over lumpectomy. Dr. Covelli holds the first ever awarded Roche-Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Ontario Region Physician Fellowship and is a promising breast surgical resident training to become a clinician scientist. Oncolytic (cancer-killing) viruses represent an exciting new therapy option because they target and eradicate cancer cells while sparing healthy cells, eliminating the toxic side effects of current chemotherapy treatments. In this fellowship, Ms. Cuddington is using bovine herpes virus (BHV-1) to treat breast cancer. Unlike current treatment strategies, BHV-1 effectively targets a wide array of breast tumour cells. The successful development of this therapeutic option could have a significant impact on the survival and quality of life of women with breast cancer. Dr. Jory Simpson Toronto, Ontario Dr. Philip Medeiros Toronto, Ontario Understanding why more women with early breast cancer are choosing mastectomy – $143,000 Embracing a novel surgical approach to managing women with breast cancer – $71,500 Following his CBCF fellowship Dr. Simpson was offered a position as a breast surgical oncologist at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. Inspired by the training he received during his fellowship, he plans to pursue research as a component of his surgical career and he is currently pursuing a Masters in Education. Actively engaged in research, teaching and other professional activities related to his work in breast cancer, Dr. Simpson is participating in a research study that involves establishing and evaluating a novel breast surgery clinic where patients see a plastic surgeon and a surgical breast oncologist together before having surgery. Kimberly Cullen Dr. Andrea Covelli Exploring bovine herpes virus as a treatment for breast cancer – $112,500 Stress receptor found to stimulate growth and migration of cancer cells – $112,500 Dr. Philip Medeiros recently completed a fellowship that provided insight into a novel link between stress and breast cancer. His research showed that a particular receptor, stimulated by stress-related nerves, causes breast cancer cells to divide more rapidly and become more active, which are important characteristics of breast cancer development. This research provides an exciting new opportunity for the development of a drug that could block these effects. Dr. Breanne Cuddington Dr. Jory Simpson Dr. Philip Medeiros Knowledge sharing The One of the most meaningful ways we can help women and their families is by making knowledge gained from research available to the public. Empowering women to make more informed decisions about their health helps to reduce the incidence of breast cancer, lowering mortality rates, and ensuring a better quality of life post treatment.

Based on scientific evidence and best practices, we know that empowering women to make informed choices about breast cancer screening is one of the most significant ways we can help reduce mortality rates. In 2012, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation travelled across the province with The Pink Tour, our mobile breast health program, to start a dialogue about breast health and breast cancer screening with the public. We reached 124 communities and connected with over 35,000 Ontarians, providing visitors with helpful information about the benefits of screening. The level of community engagement throughout the tour was exceptional. We met women who had personal experiences with breast cancer, women who were learning about the importance of breast health for the first time, and husbands who picked up information for their wives and daughters. We connected with public health units, primary care providers, and community-based health organizations and strengthened our relationship with representatives from all levels of government. With a goal to encourage more eligible women to participate in the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP), we were delighted that more than 400 women booked their first mammogram appointment with the OBSP while visiting the bus. Thanks to CIBC, Shoppers Drug Mart and their employees from across the province, we were able to bring breast health information to communities large and small. Their participation and support was essential to making The Pink Tour a reality. Since 1986, breast cancer mortality rates in Canada have declined by 42% as a result of increased breast cancer screening and improved treatment. Yet, the latest screening data shows that only 43% of eligible women (ages 50-74) participate in the Ontario Breast Screening Program. The Pink Tour | steps to reduce risk | women’s health 25 Taking steps to reduce risk While many women believe the risk of developing breast cancer is primarily associated with genetics and family history, evidence shows that less than 10 per cent of breast cancer cases are related to family history. The World Cancer Research Fund estimates that one-third of breast cancers are preventable through a more balanced diet, maintaining a healthy body weight, and regular physical activity. Evidence also confirms that women can reduce their risk of breast cancer by drinking less alcohol, quitting smoking, limiting use of hormone therapy during menopause, and reducing exposure to environmental carcinogens and hormone disruptors. This past year, we provided women with information and practical tips in ways that made the information approachable and easy for them to access including a dedicated website reduceyourrisk.ca, social media channels (Facebook and Twitter), a powerful public service announcement, print ads, and a broadly distributed the health promotion brochure designed to encourage conversations about breast health between women and their health care providers. Our message is simple. Live your life and protect it on your own terms. Try one new thing that can improve your health and recognize that even small steps can help reduce your risk of breast cancer. Ultimately, we believe that by supporting women with practical information about how they can minimize their risk of breast cancer we can reduce the incidence of the disease. Getting physical at 40 The beauty of physical activity is that it’s never too late to start. Just ask Karen Speirs. The lifelong hockey fan took to the ice in her mid-40s, shortly after her husband joined a neighbourhood hockey team. Bored of sitting at home, she and the other women in the neighbourhood laced up their skates and formed their own hockey team, the Stanley Cupcakes. “We had a lot of enthusiasm, a great jersey, and a lot to learn,” says Karen. The women borrowed equipment from their children, picked up gear from a second hand sports store, and booked their ice time. Karen says the women were blown away by how much fun it was. “Taking up a sport in midlife is humbling, but it’s hugely rewarding. Who knew we would be celebrating our 50th birthdays by playing hockey?” The Pink Tour | steps to reduce risk | women’s health 26 Improving women’s health through informed decisions Knowledge is power, and one of the most effective ways women can take control of their health is through access to resources that will help them make informed decisions. Available resources Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is home to the most comprehensive breast health and breast cancer information available in Canada, and every year we expand our resources based on the latest scientific evidence. A booklet designed to provide information and resources for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Getting information into the hands of women and their families is never an easy task, which is why we rely on the support of clinics, hospitals, and doctors’ offices across the province to help put vital information about breast health and breast cancer screening at their fingertips. In 2012, we distributed over 150,000 free resources to 216 organizations and individuals and at 52 Foundation events. Tools like our new video, Do I need to be screened for breast cancer?, available online and at many Ontario breast screening clinics across the province, broaden our outreach and tap into individual preferences for accessing information. In an age of social media where information travels across online channels immediately, helping people sort through the clutter to determine what is credible and what is not has become more important than ever. Every month, more than 18,000 people visit www.cbcf.org knowing that they can source information with confidence to help inform their decision-making about reducing the risk of breast cancer, taking part in regular screenings with the Ontario Breast Screening Program, going through treatment, and getting back to a more normal life when treatment ends. Living Well Helps Reduce Your Risk Provides easy-to-read information about breast cancer risk and healthier life choices. Guiding Women Getting Back on Track A book is for women who are making the transition to life after breast cancer treatment. Screening Designed to help inform women’s decision making about breast cancer screening with information about the benefits and limitations of getting a mammogram. Be Breast Aware Informs people about how to be breast aware by becoming familiar with how the breasts normally look and feel. Do I need to be screened for breast cancer? Animated sketch video on the benefits and limitations of breast cancer screening through a conversation between a woman 50+ and her family doctor. 27 The community of support for breast cancer is multi-faceted, consisting of individuals, families, extended groups of friends and caring corporate sponsors. For the last 20 years, CIBC has been a leader in this community and represents the gold standard for corporate support and employee volunteerism. As title sponsor of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, CIBC has been a key partner in the success of the cause. It’s a relationship that dates back to 1992, when a small group of employees participated in the Run for the Cure in support of a colleague who was experiencing breast cancer. That grassroots support led CIBC to become a national sponsor and, for the past 17 years, the title sponsor for the event. training branch employees on donation procedures and contributing to Run planning for each of the Run sites across the country. In mid-September, CIBC declares “Think Pink Week” to create that final push for employee and customer registration and fundraising. Special Think Pink events engage employees, provide a forum to share information regarding breast cancer, and celebrate the community that comes together to support those living with the disease. “Our involvement started because CIBC employees, passionate about creating a future without breast cancer, rallied our company around the cause. Their leadership has served as an inspiration to all of us,” said Christina Kramer, Executive Vice-President of CIBC. “The CIBC Run for the Cure is now an important part of the fabric of our company, with one in three employees either participating or volunteering.“ In 2012, an estimated 13,000 employees took part in the Run, along with their families and friends. This includes thousands of employees across Canada who volunteered their time to help make sure the event went off without a hitch. Team CIBC contributed more than $3 million to the cause in 2012. Since 1992, CIBC employees and volunteers have raised more than $33 million for CBCF. Team CIBC is led by a group of volunteer “Run Champions” who are responsible for team registration and fundraising promotion of the CIBC Pink CollectionTM – CIBC ‘pink products,’ “We’re very proud that CIBC employees have helped build the largest single day event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer in Canada and providing hope and support to those living with breast cancer and their families,” said Ms. Kramer. “And, we are honoured to support the CBCF in realizing its vision of creating a future without breast cancer.” Thank you We applaud the thousands of people who come together each year to make our breast cancer research, education and advocacy work possible. Yours are the many faces behind the scenes who are volunteering, fund raising and making donations to help us realize our vision of creating a future without breast cancer. p29 Individual Donors and Corporate Partners Pink Ribbon $50,000+ Gold Ribbon $25,000 – $49,999 Silver Ribbon $10,000 – $24,999 Bronze Ribbon $5,000 – $9,999 Community Builder $2,500 – $4,999 Friends of the Foundation $1,000 – $2,499 p34 Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure Teams Pink Ribbon $50,000+ Gold Ribbon $25,000 – $49,999 Silver Ribbon $10,000 – $24,999 Bronze Ribbon $5,000 – $9,999 Community Builder $2,500 – $4,999 p43 Community Event Donors Pink Ribbon $50,000+ Gold Ribbon $25,000 – $49,999 Silver Ribbon $10,000 – $24,999 Bronze Ribbon $5,000 – $9,999 Community Builder $2,500 – $4,999 Friends of the Foundation $1,000 – $2,499 28 29 Pink Ribbon GWN DRAGON BOAT CHALLENGE AARON SOROKA BROOKFIELD JOHNSON CONTROLS GOVAN BROWN CHARITY CASINO GORD HICKS & JON TAYLOR HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY $50,000+ CIBC IDEA STUDIO KRUGER PRODUCTS NESTLE CANADA – PURINA PEPSICO CANADA RE/MAX ONTARIO–ATLANTIC CANADA INC.

Eight years later, the event has raised more than $120,000 for CBCF and engaged a generation of young women championing the importance of exercise in breast health. Fundraising with determination The best bagel in town goes ‘pink’ Diagnosed with stage II breast cancer a decade ago, Wendy Garner has run with her colleagues in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure for the last nine years. Determined to help create a breast cancer-free future, Wendy surpassed her goal of raising $100,000 for breast cancer research and was the winner of the 2012 Determination Award as the top fundraiser at the Kitchener-Waterloo run site. She has now gone on to increase her goal to $125,000. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 2012, every Panera Bread bakery cafe in the Greater Toronto Area tempted customers with a decidedly different take on their delicious bread. The Pink Ribbon Bagel not only filled people’s appetites, but has been supporting CBCF annually for three years in a row. 46 Get involved 47 We wouldn’t be where we are today without the 8,100 volunteers who donate their time, money and energy towards our vision of creating a future without breast cancer.

CHRISTOPHER MUELLER MEMBER, RESEARCH AND HEALTH CARE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBER, NATIONAL GRANTS COMMITTEE HON SUSAN E. WHELAN MEMBER, CAUSE LEADERSHIP AND BRAND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE Honouring a life of service Betty-Jane Hassleback, or ‘BJ’ as she was affectionately known to family and friends, had a profound impact on the breast cancer cause. In 1986, BJ joined a group of women working to launch a charity devoted exclusively to breast cancer, called Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. BJ served as a member of the first Board of Directors and as chair of the Education Committee, while her husband, Dr. Richard Hasselback, an oncologist at Princess Margaret Hospital, was appointed by the Board as Chair of its first Medical Advisory Committee. Over the years, BJ was instrumental in helping to advance breast cancer awareness, research and treatment. BJ and Richard remain a constant reminder of the powerful impact that just a few individuals can have on thousands of lives. We will all miss BJ very much – but her spirit and passion will live on in all of us as we continue to work towards a future without breast cancer. our vision: creating a future without breast cancer. 49 50 Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – Ontario Region 20 Victoria Street, 6th Floor Toronto, ON M5C 2N8 Visit our website: www.cbcf.org Tel (416) 815-1313 Toll Free 1 (866) 373-6313 See us on you tube: youtube.com/cbcfontario Friend us on Facebook: facebook.com/cbcfontario Follow us on Twitter: @CBCF_Ontario Design: www.GravityInc.ca On the cover: Teresa Pagnutti was diagnosed with locally advanced, stage III breast cancer in 2009.
