All participants of the long-term breast cancer study had an examination at Women’s College Hospital every three years. They also completed a health questionnaire.
As the letter explains “The main objective [of this study] is to try to find any relationship between the changes in the breasts at the time of menstruation, pregnancy, lactation, the menopause and the development of cancer of the breast.”
