Massachusetts General Hospital salutes Anbinder's efforts

When Eleanor "Ellie" Anbinder was diagnosed with breast cancer 17 years ago, she was shocked because she thought the disease would only affect those with a family history of breast cancer. Ever since, she has been convinced that the ailment must have environmental causes.

"I still don't understand why I got it," she said. "My question was and still is, 'Why is this happening?'

Anbinder took that question seriously, and over the past nine years, she has dedicated a great deal of time and effort to address the subject. In 2000, Anbinder co-founded a nonprofit to fund research dedicated to finding the relationship between environmental chemical exposure and breast cancer. For her endeavor, Anbinder was honored this past Wednesday at Massachusetts General Hospital's The One Hundred. Read more...


Why are we important?

This year 250,000 people - mostly women - in the United States will learn that they have breast cancer. Forty thousand will die. They leave grieving, heartbroken families.

Scientists know that breast cancer is associated with exposure to natural estrogens and other hormones. Now we are learning that certain chemicals found in common household products can mimic estrogens. More than 100 of these can make breast cancer cells grow in the lab.
