Who can take part in the prevention trial?

Women can take part in the trial if they are postmenopausal and aged between 40-70 years with either, a family history of breast cancer, or a personal history of non-invasive breast cancer or an atypical benign breast lesion.

Find out if you are eligible to join the study

Before you are able to join the study you will be assessed on certain conditions. Among these are:

• You have bone problems, e.g. osteoporosis. Everyone will have an x-ray of the spine and a bone scan to check for signs of osteoporosis. However you may still be eligible to join the study if you are able to take bisphosphonates (bone medication).
• If you are using oestrogen based hormone replacement therapy (HRT). You would have to be prescribed an alternative non-hormonal treatment to take part in the trial.

If these affect you there will be plenty of time to discuss them with your doctor before making your final decision to join the trial.
