For 25 years, BCAM/BCAQ has emphasized that prevention is the cure for breast cancer, the only cure that matters. Only if the roots of breast cancer are identified and removed will the diagnosis begin to wither. The network of roots that BCAM/BCAQ addresses includes the toxins in our environments; the chemicals in our cosmetics; the inadequate social programs that prevent too many from being able to have access to or purchase healthy and safe food products; and all other harms deriving from injust and inequitable political policies and structural conditions. BRAVAS to BCAM/BCAQ for all it has accomplished in pulling out roots during its first 1/4 century. All best wishes for leading the way to further prevention in the future.
