The PRECAMA study

The PRECAMA study is a large, multicentre case-control study in Latin America that aims to advance the prevention and management of breast cancer in countries in epidemiological transition in Latin America through a better understanding of the molecular, pathological, and risk factor patterns. Women recruited to the study will be asked to complete questionnaires on lifestyle, diet, and environmental factors, and to provide blood and urine specimens that will be used for research purposes. Tumour samples will also be collected to identify molecular breast cancer subtypes by immunohistochemical analyses, so that targeted analyses can be performed of genetic factors related to disease susceptibility and prognosis.
