这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这个项目的目的是创建一个研究数据库，使研究人员能够调查乳腺癌和其他可能的严重疾病的原因。乳腺癌是女性最常见的癌症，占所有女性恶性肿瘤的31%。了解乳腺癌的病因将极大地促进开发更好的方法来预防这种疾病，以便更早地诊断和开发更有效的治疗方法。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this project is to create a research database that will enable researchers to investigate the causes of breast cancer and possibly other serious diseases. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women comprising 31% of all female malignancies. Understanding the causes of breast cancer would greatly facilitate the development of better methods for the prevention of this disease, for earlier diagnosis and for the development of more effective treatments.
