Environment and Breast Cancer: Science Review
- Description
- Susan G. Komen for the Cure funded the Environment and Breast Cancer: Science Review to assess scientific research on environmental exposures and nonhereditary factors that may increase breast cancer risk. The series of five articles was published in a supplement of the journal Cancer on May 14, 2007. The studies were done by Silent Spring Institute, with additional researchers from Harvard University, Roswell Park Cancer Institute and the University of Southern California.
The researchers synthesized national and international data sources and identified 216 chemicals that caused breast tumors in animal studies, and several chemicals that have been linked to breast cancer in humans. They used this information to create a comprehensive, searchable online database with details on potential breast carcinogens.
