Nobody knows what causes breast cancer.
Nobody can tell us what to do to prevent it. What we do know is that some geographic places have higher incidents of breast cancer. Studies strongly suggest that exposure to certain chemicals and synthetic compounds contributes to the development of the disease. NOW is proud to join forces with the Breast Cancer Fund , members of Congress and other organizations in calling for increased funding for research into the causes of breast cancer, including environmental factors. We urge the president , Congress, all candidates, and voters to make prevention of breast cancer a national health priority and an issue in the 2000 elections.
