The Side-Out Foundation

The Side-Out Foundation is a non-profit research organization dedicated to advancing treatments for metastatic breast cancer through its unique Side-Out Protocols. Unlike traditional foundations that only fund external research, Side-Out directly manages clinical trials that utilize molecular profiling, including proteomics and genomics, to provide personalized treatment recommendations for patients. Their research focuses on identifying specific biomarkers that predict treatment response, aiming to extend the lives of those with stage IV breast cancer. The foundation is widely recognized for its 'Dig Pink' initiative, which mobilizes the volleyball community to raise funds for these precision medicine trials.
