With appropriate ethics committee and Health Research Authority privacy committee approval, since 2007 identifiable information on men in England and Wales with breast cancer diagnosed since 2005 has been sent to the Institute of Cancer Research by Public Health England, in order that these men can be contacted to ask if they wish to take part in a study of the causes and genetics of breast cancer. The men are free to take part in the study, or not, as they wish. Appropriate ethics and data protection approval is carried out at all levels in the process.
If you think that you may have been included in this study and want further information, or if you wish to opt out of it, please do not hesitate to contact us via email, or by post at
