NCT ID NCT00040222
Summary
This study aimed to better understand why some families have a very high risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Researchers followed 377 adults from families with a strong history of these cancers, collecting health information, surveys, and biological samples like blood. The goal was to learn how genetics and lifestyle interact to cause cancer, creating a resource for future research, not to provide direct treatment.
