Abstract: Breast cancer research is resource intensive, and therefore many international and national breast cancer networks have been created. Some of these are mentioned in this chapter, the most important being the Breast International Group and North American Breast Cancer Groups. The success of these networks depends on many factors, among which a good model of clinical research collaboration is essential, as is being able to cope with recent developments in molecular biology. Publicly and privately supported clinical studies around the world can be explored via ClinicalTrials.gov. There, the evolution of breast cancer research in 205 countries can be observed, including the emergence of Asia in this field. Looking forward, better international regulation of trials is needed.
