Susan G. Komen (formerly known as Susan G. Komen for the Cure; originally as The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation; often referred to simply as Komen) is a breast cancer organization in the United States.
Komen works on patient navigation and advocacy, providing resources for breast-cancer patients to understand the American medical system. They have funded research into the causes and treatment of breast cancer. However, the organization has been mired by controversy over pinkwashing, allocation of research funding, and CEO pay. The foundation's revenue and public perception have steeply declined since 2010.
