FROM PINK to PREVENTION is a breast cancer campaign that exposes the barriers to achieving ‘primary prevention’ ie stopping the disease before it starts.

❗#EDCs have been linked to a range of health issues - and the cost of EDC-related illnesses in 2016 alone is estimated at €163 billion in Europe, at least.

@BBCWomansHour @BreastCancerNow @claremcdonnell1 We need to ask about what causes these genetic causes - how many women + those with #breastcancer have died in the last 20 years?

We believe know enough to act now...https://t.co/m41yG97l4b

16/9/24. England. ‘Forever chemicals’ pollute up to 10,000 sites in England. Per- & poly-fluoroalkyl substances are linked to cancer, low birth weight, higher cholesterol levels & more but cleaning them up could cost £121bn

What about environmental + occcupational exposures linked to breast cancer? @BBCWomansHour

A question on exposure to toxic chemicals ? Is the breast tissue being analyzed for toxic chemicals? @BBCWomansHour #generationstudy #BreastCancer

[FromPinktoPrevention @pink_prevention]

Why no mention of #primaryprevention, when up to 60% of cases could be prevented? Breast cancer is not inevitable, but we need to urgently address environmental &occupation al #riskfactors? @breastcancernow Why are we ignoring these #riskfactors?

Consumers and workers are routinely exposed to 90% of the chemicals identified as potential breast carcinogens - so where is this addressed in #cancerplans or regulation?

Organic solvents are a #breastcancer risk

New study find high levels of #airpollution linked to increased risk of #breastcancer. How does this interact with other #riskfactors ?

Is it time to reassess the risk factors? What about the impacts of workplace exposure if also exposed occupationally?

@WildcardEnviro @CCriadoPerez Seriously? Wondering how many similar studies excluding women used by #breastcancer charities to guilt women into believing their cancer us due to lack of exercise ? @BreastCancerNow

Why are women still missing from workplace #cancer studies?

Can't believe in the 21st century such a lack of recognition about sex + female specific differences in relation to workplace exposures to #toxicchemicals?

[ACP @Cancer_Alliance]

Hairdressers, beauticians, and clothing workers among certain job roles associated with a heightened risk of #ovariancancer

Yet still #women are underrepresented in occupational cancer studies.
