Examining the etiology of early-onset breast cancer in the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health (CanPath)

Approved in early 2020, a matched case-control study using data from 3 cohorts of the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health (CanPath), the Ontario Health Study, the BC Generations Project, and Alberta’s Tomorrow Project was published in the journal Cancer Causes & Control, concluding that measures of adiposity, pregnancy history, and family history of breast cancer are important risk factors for early-onset breast cancer.
