I. Lynne Cohen Consortium

In 2005, the Lynne Cohen Foundation expanded its mission with the establishment of the Lynne Cohen Consortium. This Consortium allows researchers and scientists at our five preventive care programs to pool the data from the high-risk communities served by each program and link these at-risk women with the science of screening and prevention. 

While each preventive care program addresses state-of-the-art patient care, the Lynne Cohen Consortium emphasizes the importance of data collection, highly-focussed research, and cross-institutional collaboration. To facilitate this collaboration, the Lynne Cohen Consortium meets annually to assess progress, discuss advances in women's cancer research and to identify cross-institutional research projects.


II. The Lynne Cohen Multi-Center Database/Registry of Subjects at High-Risk for Ovarian or Breast Cancer - Lynne Cohen Consortium Project

The specific objectives of the Lynne Cohen Registry are to:

-  Collect and store demographic, cancer risk, and breast and ovarian disease history, as well as family history of breast and ovarian cancer on patients who are at risk of breast or ovarian cancer or who have had a diagnosis of either cancer

-  Make available summary information regarding patients in the registry to Lynne Cohen Consortium members, and other investigators, who can use the data to plan research projects and evaluate the feasibility of such projects

- Make available summary information to the Lynne Cohen Foundation and it's donors in order to show the number of women and families who are directly impacted by the Lynne Cohen Prevention Clinics.
