CONFERENCE PLATFORM

The 4th Annual Breast Cancer Symposium was held live in person and online via a live broadcast.

Educational Goal

Advances in our understanding of the genetic and physiologic pathways of breast cancer have led to the development of targeted systemic therapies, improved surgical procedures, and radiation techniques, and improved, disease-free, and overall survival benefits. The goal of this conference is to educate the medical and global community in a forum that will facilitate the utilization of optimal treatment strategies and foster communication that will benefit the individual patient as well as the community.
