About this study

Official title: Fetal, Infant and Early Childhood Antecedents of Cancer in Women: Maternal Cohort Study of the Nurses' Health Studies

RATIONALE: Gathering information about pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood exposures may help doctors identify cancer risk factors, and may help the study of cancer.

PURPOSE: This natural history study is looking at the effects of fetal, infant, and early childhood exposures on adult cancer risk in women.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine if fetal, infant, and early childhood exposures are associated with adult cancer risk in women.

OUTLINE: Mothers of nurses complete questionnaires to collect maternal data, such as pregnancy weight gain, diet during pregnancy, maternal pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, gestational age at birth, birth weight, and infant feeding practices. Maternal data is linked to other data collected from critical time periods in the nurses's life cycle, such as menarche, first pregnancy, or adult dietary intake.

Being tested

Keywords

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnosis of incident cancers and other chronic diseases. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
