CONSIDER PARTICIPATING IN A STUDY ABOUT GUT HEALTH AND BREAST CANCER
Dr. Murphy is leading a research study which seeks to understand whether the bacteria in a person’s gut (the microbiome) may play a role in the development of breast cancer.
Despite improvements in diagnosis and treatment over the past several decades, breast cancer remains the most common malignancy and the greatest cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide.
This project aims to discover new markers of breast cancer through an international effort focused on low-penetrance alleles that, in combination, have a high probability of explaining a large proportion of breast cancer risk.
