What Does Participation
Involve?
If you choose to join the Breast Cancer Risk in Young Women Study, you will be

appointment. Your doctor will ship the sample directly to the researchers. You
will be sent a kit that includes shipping materials, the materials needed to
draw your blood, and all of the documentation your doctor needs to draw and

participate in this study, and you will not have to handle or ship your own

Where?
United States and Canada
This is a good project, since we all know that breast cancer is also a harmful medical condition that mostly happen in women. I read that 7 out of 10 women has a breast cancer. This project will become successful if women citizens participate or cooperate on this program, this is not only for the good of yourself but also for the others.
