Metabolic and hormonal pathways in gynecological cancer - epidemiological studies of risk and survival [ 2008 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Christina Nagle (Principal investigator)

Brief description Metabolic and hormonal factors probably play a role in a womans chance of developing and surviving gynecological cancer, but the exact mechanisms are unclear. This project will use questionnaire information, blood and tumour samples of over 5,000 Australian women to examine the mechanisms leading to cancer development and survival among women with uterine and ovarian cancer, the two commonest female reproductive cancers. Results will help plan primary prevention strategies and care.
