103 Chapter 7: Analysis to Action The analysis undertaken by the MBC Alliance over the past year has prepared a solid foundation of shared knowledge across the MBC landscape. Collectively, Alliance members are now better informed about the areas of scientific research needing further exploration, gaps in information and support services that require resources, the need to accelerate improvement in quality of life, and increasing evidence-based public education about MBC. Actions for the next phase of work for the Alliance have been prepared based on the research from this landscape analysis and the many discussions with patient advocates and breast cancer organizations. We have identified a series of actions for our next phase of work over 2015 and 2016. These actions are aligned with our goals of advancing research, increasing understanding, and improving knowledge and awareness of MBC. They require sustained commitment of multiple stakeholders and MBC Alliance members stand ready to contribute time and energy to this work. We look forward to reporting on our progress in 2015. Actions for the next phase, next page.
