The optimal treatment of breast cancer patients involves a multidisciplinary team of physicians. Due to the time constraints placed on health care providers who treat breast cancer, it is a challenge to provide and attend educational opportunities that bring together medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists as well as radiologists, pathologists, nurses and allied health staff. This symposium aims to address this educational need by providing participants with the latest developments in multidisciplinary fields that treat and care for breast cancer patients.

Register today for the early bird discount $125, by Sept. 8th!
