Dedicated to Early Detection

Since its establishment in 1995, earlier.org – Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test® has been dedicated exclusively to the earlier detection of breast cancer, with a primary focus on developing a biological test. Such advancements have the potential to reduce or eliminate invasive surgeries, lessen the need for intensive treatments, and significantly improve survival rates. Unlike many non-profit organizations with extensive offices, a large staff, and multi-level structures, Earlier.org operates from a single office in Greensboro, NC, with a small, dedicated team. The organization's mission is to allocate funds swiftly and efficiently to research efforts. Once Earlier.org successfully achieves its clearly defined mission to fund research leading to successful earlier detection, the organization can willingly and thankfully close its doors.

​

“This is a project, not an ongoing organization. A biomarker will be found and a test to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages will be created. No previous generation has had the opportunity to make an impact of this magnitude on breast cancer.”
