Cancer Working GroupAbout the CHE Cancer Working Group
This working group has also put together a list of "Top Resources" on cancer and environmental health. A link to these resources are available in the box in the upper right hand side of this page. These resources are considered by leaders in the working group to be essential reading for understanding the science demonstrating a connection between cancer and the environment. CHE also has an active Breast Cancer Working Group, which originated as a subgroup of CHE Cancer, and has produced the 2006 Consensus Statement on Breast Cancer and the Environment. The CHE Cancer Working Group is coordinated by Jeanne Rizzo, RN, Executive Director of the Breast Cancer Fund, Diana Zuckerman, PhD, President of the National Center for Policy Research (CPR) for Women & Families, and Michael Lerner, PhD, President of Commonweal. For more information about this group, contact Erika Sanders at: Erika@healthandenvironment.org. If you are interested in joining this group, please sign on as a CHE Partner, and indicate your interest in your application.

Do Chemicals Cause Breast Cancer? Tell it to the Marines! ResourcesUpdated: Environmental and Occupational Causes of Cancer: A Review of Recent Scientific Literature, 2007 Edition
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Lowell & Boston University recently concluded in an updated scientific review, Environmental and Occupational Causes of Cancer: New Evidence, 2005-2007, that mounting evidence linking unintentional exposures to toxins in our workplaces and general environment contribute to the nearly one and a half million new cases of cancer in the U.S. in just 2007 alone.
