Nurses needed

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

The Army of Women, a program of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, seeks volunteers for a study that will look at breast tissue samples from women who have not had breast cancer and who have worked night shifts. The goal is to understand whether wake/sleep cycle disruptions increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Participants should:

• Be women between ages 30 and 65.

• Never have had a diagnosis of breast cancer, including DCIS. A history of other cancers would not make someone ineligible to participate, however.

• Not have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Women can participate if they do not know whether they have the mutation.

• Have worked night shifts for at least five consecutive years at some point in their lives. Rotating night shift workers, meaning at least three night shifts a month in addition to day and evening hours, are eligible.
