Envision zero breast cancer

Zero Breast Cancer (ZBC) at Collaborative for Health & Environment (CHE) offers breast cancer prevention and survivorship health and wellness programs, including a health and wellness coaching program. We also provide resources on breast cancer prevention for audiences of all ages — from five-year-old children through survivors.

For more than 28 years, ZBC has centered community perspectives in our program and resource development. To illustrate how this works, I’m going to explain the development of our bilingual Generations/Generacionesresources about the impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) across generations.

This blog is the second in a series about a new study that looks at how a woman’s exposure to chemical mixtures may increase the risk of breast cancer. (Read the first article here.) The study also explores whether women from different economic backgrounds experience different levels of chemical exposure.

This study is led by Dr. Kimberly Badal from the University of California, San Francisco, with help from Dr. Douglas Walker from Emory University and other researchers. It aims to find out which individual chemicals and mixtures are linked to breast cancer. It will give insight into how we can reduce exposure to chemicals to lower the risk of getting breast cancer. We interviewed Dr. Walker about non-targeted analysis, the method he brings to the study that will enable these complex research questions to be answered.
