Mortality from mammary cancer among women in Roman Catholic Sister‐hoods is reported. The results of examination on a cohort basis show a break in the age curve at the time of menopause. From this finding the authors deduce that age configuration of mammary cancer, also noted in other series on a cross‐sectional basis, may portray the true cohort pattern.
