The Sister Study
is the only long-term study of women aged 35 to 74 whose sister had
breast cancer. It is a national study to learn how environment and
genes affect the chances of getting breast cancer. In the next 3
years, 50,000 women whose sister had breast cancer, and who do not
have breast cancer themselves will be asked to join the study.
The Recruitment
team is still looking for more women to enroll in its study.
Currently, it has enrolled 37,775 women, but it would like to meet
its goal of 50,000 women. If you know any women, especially members
of underrepresented groups who would like to enroll, please
encourage them to visit the Sister Study website at
