Women with metastatic breast cancer are being invited to take part in a national research study aimed at gauging their unmet needs and to improve collaboration among the breast cancer community.

The study is being conducted by R.I.S. Christie, a Toronto based market research company. Participants may complete the survey either over the telephone with an interviewer or on-line, whichever the participant feels more comfortable with. 

A female interviewer will conduct the interview due to the sensitive nature of this topic. Surveys for women with metastatic breast cancer will take about 20-25 minutes depending on the person. 

A spokesperson for the company said participants will receive $50 in appreciation of their time and involvement. Questionnaire responses will be anonymous and the results will be analyzed in aggregate.

There are no sales involved nor will participants be contacted by any organization as a result of their participation.

Women who are interested may call 416-778-8890 or toll free at 1-800-277-7530 and ask to speak to Anne.
