Breast Cancer Study
Posted on: Friday, 27 January 2006, 15:01 CST
HEALTH researchers are recruiting women for the first nationwide breast cancer study in over 20 years.
It will investigate why women get breast cancer and whether lifestyle factors like exercise, alcohol and smoking are related to it. It affects one in 10 women.
The study will be the first to specifically recruit Maori and Pacific Island women, Massey University's centre for public health research said. Questionnaires will go to about 5750 women -- with and without breast cancer -- recruited through the cancer registry.
