Launch of PRECAMA study website

The PRECAMA study (Molecular Subtypes of Premenopausal Breast Cancer in Latin American Women) is a large, multicentre case-control study 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 from four Latin American countries (Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico) complete questionnaires on lifestyle, diet, and environmental factors and provide biological specimens that will be used for research purposes. The study is unique as it is the first to study specific genetic factors in the Latin American population that may be associated with specific subtypes of breast cancer as well as with specific lifestyle and dietary habits.
