In this three-session online course, participants will learn about the new science on the influence of environmental chemicals on cancer. The sessions are aimed at clinicians and also will be informative for policy makers, cancer researchers, and members of the public. Clinicians will be better able to answer patient questions, and gain skills in engaging in population-level policy change and community-based public health initiatives.

The Cancer & Environment Forum 2022 was organized by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Silent Spring Institute, the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production, the Cancer Free Economy Network, the Zhu Family Center for Global Cancer Prevention at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Mass General Brigham, and the Center for Cancer Equity and Engagement at Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center.
