Breast Cancer School for Patients

The Breast Cancer School for Patients is a free, online educational platform founded in 2018 by breast surgeon Dr. John P. Williams. The organization provides a comprehensive series of video lessons designed to empower breast cancer patients with the knowledge needed to understand their diagnosis and treatment options. Its curriculum covers topics such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and genomic testing, while also providing specific questions for patients to ask their medical teams. The platform aims to improve patient outcomes by promoting self-advocacy and informed decision-making within the healthcare system. It is a non-profit outreach that has reached millions of viewers through its website and YouTube channel. The school is recognized for its "Patient-Driven Quality" movement, which encourages patients to be at the center of their treatment discussions.
