First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at what breast cancer survivors and their family members know about chemicals in personal care products that might affect hormones. Researchers also want to see if there is a link between excess weight and these chemicals. About 30 people from the Acres Home community will fill out surveys and join online group discussions.
