Why This Conference Matters

Breast cancer care continues to evolve with new targeted therapies, biomarkers and de-escalation strategies. ESMO Breast Cancer brings together medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists and researchers with a shared focus on the disease. Presenting at the congress allows authors to share findings with a specialist multidisciplinary audience, both in Milan and online, and to discuss their implications for practice and research.
