Is ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) breast cancer?

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is breast cancer, but it is non-invasive. About 55,000 new cases of DCIS are expected to be diagnosed among women in the U.S. in 2013. Learn more now.

As we’ve come to understand more about the biology of breast cancer, Komen’s research agenda has changed tremendously over the past 10-15 years. Read more about Komen’s research investment.

Our Mission

It's simple. We're fighting breast cancer in Central New Mexico. How?

Funding programs that support those in the fight to save lives
Educating Central New Mexico about breast cancer risk factors, the importance of early detection and the resources that are available to them

What We Do

Komen Central New Mexico serves thousands of Central New Mexico women in Bernalillo, Los Alamos,Sandoval, Santa Fe, Torrance and Valencia counties by funding grants that:

provide low-cost or free screening mammograms, diagnostic testing and breast cancer treatment to uninsured or underinsured Central New Mexico residents

provide support services before, during and after breast cancer treatment

We empower Central New Mexico residents with information about the importance of early detection and breast health.

We donate 75 percent of net funds raised to vital local breast health services, and dedicate the remaining 25 percent to national research to find the cures.

Since 1999,Komen Central New Mexico has almost $2.2 million into Central New Mexico via its annual community grants program to fund breast health programs and services for medically-under served Central New Mexico residents.

The Difference We Make

Komen Central New Mexico is part of the big picture to eradicate breast cancer. But we're also focused on the local needs of our neighbors. We are dedicated to educating Central New Mexico about breast cancer and the resources available along with funding life-saving screening and treatment programs for our neighbors currently battling this disease.
