Breast Cancer and the Environment: What We Know & What You Can Do

“After treatment, I was in a free fall. The Anticancer Lifestyle Program caught me and gave me the support I really needed.”

“I never imagined the online course would be so comprehensive, enjoyable, and easy to follow! ”

My breast cancer diagnosis was a wake up call. The Diet module helped me to learn the science behind the food rules I followed while raising my kids and has motivated me to get back to that healthier way of cooking and eating. Thank you!

It is a shocking fact that one in eight American women (and around one in 800 men) will develop invasive breast cancer at some point during their lives. We are excited to host Sharima Rasanayagam, PhD, Director of Science for Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP) for this informative webinar on the ways environmental factors influence the development of breast cancer. For 25 years, BCPP has worked to prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposure to radiation and toxic chemicals (many of which are found in common, everyday products) linked to the disease.

During this webinar, Dr. Rasanayagam will discuss:

The link between environmental exposures and breast cancer
The exposures that science indicates we should be most concerned about
Concrete steps we can take to reduce our individual exposures
How we can work to make our communities and environment safer for all
