This new 3 year research project aims to answer important questions about ethnicity and breast cancer. It is funded by Cancer Research UK and led by researchers at Oxford University. The study will investigate:
Why women of African, Caribbean, Indian and Pakistani backgrounds are less likely to get breast cancer but more likely to have more aggressive forms of the disease when they do.
How different risk factors vary in women from different ethnic groups, and what influence they have on the risk of getting breast cancer and the type of breast cancer diagnosed.
To help design and implement this new study the team are forming a diverse and inclusive Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) group:
We are inviting women with a personal experience of breast cancer, or women who have an interest in breast cancer, to help us develop a new study. We aim to create a dynamic and inclusive group, made up of women from the largest ethnic groups in England: White British, Black African and Black Caribbean, Indian and Pakistani. We invite women from all these groups to express interest.
