• This year, more than 350,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
• More than 43,000 will lose their lives to the disease.
• 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
• Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women.

Over 86,000 man-made chemicals are being used by industries across the globe. Is it a coincidence that over the last 40 years, breast cancer diagnoses have gone up, while we keep increasing our use of these synthetic compounds?

Find The Cause is funding a consortium of four scientific laboratories at Boston University and Tufts University. This is the first initiative of its kind, focusing on the environmental causes of breast cancer and capitalizing on the synergies of these teams of world renowned scientists who are working in collaboration to discover which chemicals cause breast cancer, how they cause it and how to prevent them from causing it.
