Breast cancer: State of the Evidence 2008 now available in French
The Breast Cancer Action Montreal group has translated the breast cancer report ’State of Evidence’ into the French language "L’État des connaissances: La relation entre l’environnement et le cancer du sein".
State of the Evidence 2008 is a comprehensive report on the environmental exposures linked to increased breast cancer risk, including natural and synthetic estrogens; xenoestrogens and other endocrine-disrupting compounds; carcinogenic chemicals and radiation.
The scientific nature of the State of the Evidence is complemented by HEAL & CHEM Trust’s breast cancer materials:
Written by Prof. Andreas Kortenkamp, this brochure offers a systematic review of current scientific literature in: "Breast cancer and exposure to hormonally active chemicals: An appraisal of the scientific evidence"
Brochure on "Factors influencing the risk of breast cancer – established and emerging"
Leaflet "Breast Cancer: Preventing the preventable"
Written on 2 February 2009.
