Fewer than 10% of breast cancer cases are due to family history.
We work to prevent breast cancer before it starts by eliminating the toxic chemicals linked to the disease.
Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP) works to...
Educate
By providing science-based tools and resources for reducing your risk and preventing breast cancer.
Enact Laws
By working with and urging legislators to enact laws that ban the most toxic chemicals in our environment.
Protect Consumers
By creating corporate accountability and partnering with industry leaders to ensure safer products for your family.
The Mission of BCPP
1 in 8 women today will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Yet, 90% of cases are not linked to family history, but to lifestyle, environmental, and toxic chemical exposures.
That’s why BCPP works to end the preventable risk factors linked to breast cancer—to save lives and stop the disease before it starts.
