What's the study about?
The Sister Study is the only long-term study of women aged 35-74 whose sister has had breast cancer. It is a national study to learn how environment and genes affect a woman’s risk of getting breast cancer. A total of 50,000 women needed by March 31, 2009 to find the causes of breast cancer.
