Life After Cancer Epidemiology Study (LACE)
The LACE Study, a cohort of 2,321 early-stage breast cancer survivors, was established in 2000 to examine how modifiable behavioral risk factors affect quality of life and long-term survival. Women were recruited primarily from the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Cancer Registry (KPNCAL) and the Utah Cancer Registry (UCR), both in the United States of America. The cohort, which is 80% white, was diagnosed predominantly with Stage I and II breast cancer (93%), and will have been followed for 5.6 years post-diagnosis, on average, by the end of 2004.
