Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aim to create a Japanese model of risk assessment for breast cancer for further accuracy in breast medical checkup and efficacy in earlier detection of breast cancer, and conducted an investigation by questionnaires for Japanese women in fifteen medical institutions. A database of 3975 participants was created. We have been investigating breast cancer risk factors and correlation between them, and will continue to work on developing a breast cancer risk assessment model for Japanese women.
