The Sister Study is looking for women whose sisters had breast cancer to enroll in a non-invasive observational study. Sisters of women with breast cancer have about twice the risk of developing breast cancer themselves, but why?
The Sister Study is trying to find the causes of breast cancer by examining environmental factors, such as where a woman lives,works and what products she uses, as well as her genes.
