{{Main|Help Defeat Cancer}}

The Help Defeat Cancer project seeks to improve the ability of medical professionals to determine the best treatment options for patients with breast, head, or neck cancer. The project was launched on July 20, 2006,<ref name="Completed Research" /> and completed in April 2007.<ref name="Completed Research" /> The project worked by identifying visual patterns in large numbers of [[tissue microarray]]s taken from archived tissue samples. By correlating the pattern data with information about treatment and patient outcome, the results of this project could help provide better targeted treatment options.<ref>{{cite web
