Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium

The Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) is a research resource for studies designed to assess the delivery and quality of breast cancer screening and related patient outcomes in the United States.

The BCSC is a collaborative network of five mammography registries with linkages to tumor and/or pathology registries and active data collection and two affiliated sites with historical data.  The network is supported by a central Statistical Coordinating Center. 

As of 2007, the Consortium's database contains information on more than 7,000,000 mammographic examinations and almost 64,000 incident breast cancer cases.
