About us
The CBCG aims to make research evidence
relating to breast cancer available to anyone who needs it. To achieve
this, the CBCG supports a process which searches for research evidence,
formally evaluates it for quality, and then publishes the results
as systematic reviews in the international Cochrane
Library (Cochrane Library User Guide). The group aims to provide the best source of accurate
and up-to-date information, especially about early detection, treatments
in advanced breast cancer, and psychosocial interventions and outcomes.
The Cochrane Breast Cancer Group achieves
its aims by:
Undertaking and maintaining a series
of up-to-date, critical and systematic reviews of all health care
interventions in breast cancer, mainly using evidence provided by
randomised controlled trials
Maintaining a network of collaborators
who undertake or contribute to systematic reviews in breast cancer
Maintaining a specialised register
of randomised trials in breast cancer
Providing training and resources for
reviewers
Facilitating and encouraging active consumer
involvement in the group's initiatives. Consumers are considered
to be partners in each step of the review process: from setting
priorities, through initiating and conducting reviews, to disseminating
results
