A new study aims to learn whether women at high risk of breast cancer can use exercise to reduce their risk of getting the disease. Building on evidence that reducing estrogen in the body reduces cancer risk, and that elite female athletes experience a drop in estrogen levels that often cause them to stop ovulating and menstruating, the WISER Sister trial will investigate two different levels of regular exercise as a possible intervention for breast cancer risk reduction.
