Society and Culture
The Center for Uterine Fibroids which is associated with Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston MA is currently recruiting volunteers for an investigation of all aspects of the aetiology, pathology of fibroids and development of treatment options. This institution also has a lot of clinical trials focused on African American women. The focus of one study is the search for a specific gene associated with the development of fibroids. Since one risk factor for uterine fibroids is having a family history of fibroids, the results of this study will provide some answers on the heredity of the illness. Some women may interact with the healthcare system by getting an ultrasound to diagnose symptoms if they’ve had a mother, sister or grandmother who has previously suffered with these benign tumors.
