Meetings for BCERF

BCERF holds regional Cancer and Environment Forums twice each year. Everyone is welcome. Attending a forum is a wonderful way to learn more about cancer and environment topics, as well as a way to reconnect with colleagues and friends.

Upcoming Forum

Our next Regional Cancer and Environment Forum will take place at the offices of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, on Thursday, May 29, 2008 from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

Presentations will include:

Prevention of Weight Gain as a Strategy to Decrease Breast Cancer Risk

Phthalates, Obesity and Insulin Resistance: First Looks

   Dr. Suzanne Snedeker, BCERF

The Rochester Healthy Home: A Model for Integrated Toxics Education
