The Sister Study |
|
The Sister Study, a national research study to learn how the
environment and genes affect the chances of getting breast cancer,
is enrolling women who have never had breast cancer, aged 35-74 but
whose sister had breast cancer.
Because it is important for
women from different ethnic groups and backgrounds to participate in
the Sister Study so the results of the study will benefit everyone,
researchers are encouraging African-American, Latina, Native
American, and Asian women, as well as Caucasian women ages 65-74 or
with a high school degree or less, to enroll at this time.
As of April 1, 2008 the Sister
Study announced that they are no longer enrolling Caucasians 35-64
years old with more than a high school degree due to how well
represented this group is among enrolled study participants.
To enroll, to learn more or to order recruitment materials, please
call 1-877-4SISTER (1-877-474-7837, Spanish and English) or visit
