Section of Oncology 10 th Meet the Professor Advanced International Breast Cancer Course Padua, November 6 th -7 th -8 th, 2014 Directors Pier Franco Conte, Gabriel N. Hortobagyi
Presentation Breast cancer mortality is declining in most countries; a detailed knowledge of the mechanisms of cancer progression, phenotypic and genotypic characterization of the disease, screening programs, advanced imaging, local therapies and molecularly targeted drugs have all been fundamental to achieve this success. Nowadays, breast cancer represents the front runner in the path to comparative effectiveness, where new therapeutic interventions are implemented on the basis of average benefit, to personalized cancer medicine, where the right treatment is provided to the right patient at the right moment. An updated, multifaceted approach to our patients is now becoming more and more demanding and with these goals in mind, the Programme of this international Conference includes lectures on molecular characterization, updated management of early and advanced disease, strategies to overcome resistance to available therapies, innovative therapies, and multimodal treatments for advanced disease. Clinical case discussions and debates are planned to allow a continuous and fruitful exchange of experiences and opinions between speakers and participants. This 10 th Breast Cancer Conference includes a highly qualified international faculty, but will maintain its characteristics of a friendly forum where international opinion leaders and attendees will exchange experiences and share the most exiting advances. In order to reward scientific excellence and to foster international cooperation, the International Scientific Committee of the 10 th AIBCC will award the 4 th International Prize for Breast Cancer Research to a scientist who has published a breakthrough paper in the previous year and the Monica Boscolo Research Grant to an Italian scientist for a research project to be conducted in cooperation with a foreign institution. We welcome medical oncologists, pathologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists and basic scientists to listen to breast cancer leaders and to exchange experiences in a friendly atmosphere. Addressed to The Meeting is addressed to physicians specialized in: oncology, radiodiagnostics, radiotherapy, clinical pathology, general surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics, biologists and nurses.
