The Best of Breast is an innovatively designed multidisciplinary CME/MOC meeting, developed to translate podium to practice. During this 2-day conference, attendees will be immersed in a familiar tumor board environment, where medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, breast radiologists, pathologists, pharmacists, advanced practitioners, nurses, and patients and survivors will discuss and debate the present and evolving state of breast cancer care.

Designed to start at screening and prevention and conclude with survivorship, world experts will present carefully engineered cases and clear and concise practice strategies that follow global and national guidelines, but also consider data where guidelines are silent or controversial.

Overview and Target Audience

The Best of Breast is a new and innovative conference on breast cancer set completely in a multidisciplinary tumor board environment. The world's leading breast cancer experts will discuss cases beginning with high risk characteristics and take us through to survivorship all the while incorporating data from the major oncologic annual meetings. Expert panelists include breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, geneticists, psychologists, pharmacists, advanced practitioners, and nurses. The conference also offers incredible opportunities for networking and collaboration.
