These links are generally related to breast cancer prevention, the mission of the MBCC. If you are looking for more specific resources on diagnosis and treatment, we suggest: www.susanlovemd.com
Consumer Information
We can make change on many levels. What consumer products we chose to buy for ourselves and our own families, not only supports healthier living in our own homes but uses our consumer buying power to make change on a larger scale. Follow these links to be a smart consumer.
Environmental Justice
Often low income communities and communities of color are disproportionately affected by environmental pollution. This is due to a number of flaws in our zoning codes and government oversight. The MBCC has begun to work with our partners locally and nationally on this issue as we believe it is directly linked to the higher incidence rates of cancer in low income and communities of color. This is a new and developing part of our work.
Partner Organizations
Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition works with many other organization in our mutual vision of a healthier future.
Science & Research
The science on environmental links to health, breast cancer in particular, is emerging rapidly. There is little denying that toxic chemicals in our air, food and water are contributing to the increase in breast cancer and other diseases. Follow these links to find out what we know and what we're studying.
