Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This investigation is a prospective breast cancer screening study open to all individuals on hormone therapy. Using a mixed methods approach, the study will 1) gather prospective quantitative breast imaging data in conjunction with hormone therapy and family cancer history and 2) investigate individuals on hormone therapy perceptions and experiences in the breast cancer screening program, and 3) identify individual and systems-level barriers to breast cancer screening.
