Women sought for cancer study

A nationwide breast cancer prevention study still needs 2,000 volunteers. The five-year "STAR" clinical trial will compare the drugs tamoxifen and raloxifene to determine which works best at preventing breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Since the study started in 1999, more than 17,000 women have enrolled through 500 medical centers. But organizers want to include 19,000 women. For enrollment information, contact the Barrett Cancer Center at (513) 584-0618 or call the National Cancer Institute at (800) 4-CANCER.
