Re: New approach to prevention of breast cancer wins $7.4M award
Great stuff happening!
I also wanted to add that I wish the media did more to teach young women how they themselves can play a role in prevention, through regular exercise and by moderate or no use of alcohol. There is evidence on the link between alcohol and breast cancer, as there is between smoking and lung cancer. Yet the former is news to most. If you want to check out the report, which is used as a resource by dieticians, Google the title below:
