In 1998, a group of young women, all diagnosed with breast cancer before age 40, gathered in New York City and had the first YSC meeting. They had all personally experienced that young adults were missing from the research, community, and conversations about breast cancer. More than twenty years later, these needs still define YSC’s work.  Young Survival Coalition (YSC) strengthens the community, addresses unique needs, amplifies the voice, and improves the quality of life of young adults affected by breast cancer, locally, nationally, and internationally.
