'Sister Study' to provide breast cancer solutions

Sister study is a study that suggests that if two sisters have the same lifestyle; live in the same environment, and then the detection of breast cancer in any one of the sisters might point out the reason why the other person does or does not have the disease. As per Dr. Paula Scarborough Juras, project officer at the Sister Study, based in North Carolina:

Sisters share genes and they share similar early environments and lifestyles, so they are more likely to have those (same) things related to breast cancer risk.

Sister Study is just one factor to find out the reason of 200,000 American women suffering from breast cancer and it would be a challenge for the medical faternity to get a clue out of it as there may be other reasons like early onset of menstruation and other abnormal breast biopsies.
