These leaflets are available for downloading or may be obtained free from our office. The first has a focus on lifestyle choices to reduce the risk of breast cancer and the second is for those who want to work for a healthier local environment. The 2007 Conference Recommendations are a record of the decisions made by those who participated in conference workshops.

Your local Library is a great resource
Most New Zealand libraries now have their lending catalogue on their website. A key word search with the words, breast cancer, will provide you with a list of books about all aspects of breast cancer. See http://www.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz for an example, where a search of the catalogue will show about 450 items, but smaller libraries also offer a range of books. Alternatively a librarian can help you find the books you want if you visit in person.
Online brochures
A good selection of reliable online resources is available from the Resources pages of the National Breast Cancer Centre (Australia) NBCC http://www.nbocc.org.au/
