"MBCC’s mission is unique. The organization is dedicated to preventing breast cancer by addressing environmental causes through education, research advocacy, and public policy change.

Unlike many organizations that focus primarily on treatment and cure, MBCC believes that the most effective way to eliminate breast cancer is to identify and reduce exposure to environmental carcinogens that contribute to the disease."
