New program aims to protect women at high risk for breast cancer

NCT ID NCT01579552

Summary

This study is testing two different ways to help women who had chest radiation as children get recommended breast cancer screenings. Researchers want to see if personalized mailings and phone coaching are more effective than standard information at getting women to complete mammograms. The study involves 360 women aged 25-49 who are at higher risk for breast cancer due to their childhood cancer treatment.
