The Best of SABCS® South has been organized in partnership with the Georgia Society of Cinical Oncology (GASCO) specifically for clinicians to experience a condensed version of the most impactful highlights of science and education from the SABCS®.
The goals of the program review and critically assess practice-changing results of emerging breast cancer research, propose best practices for implementing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and close knowledge and clinical practice gaps in the management of patients with breast cancer.
Original SABCS® (December) PPT slides are presented by the regional experts.
IDENTIFY factors that predispose individuals and increase their risk of developing breast cancer.
DESCRIBE prognostic and predictive molecular signatures and biomarkers that can identify the most appropriate treatment strategies for individuals with breast cancer.
DISCUSS scientific advances from the laboratory that have great potential to translate into increased knowledge of breast cancer biology and pathogenesis.
REVIEW new results from clinical trials in all aspects of breast cancer care presented during oral, poster and educational sessions at the annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
DISCUSS results of evidence from preclinical research and clinical trials that support the rational combinations of traditional and newer pharmacologic interventions, with a focus on novel therapeutics and resistance mechanisms.
DEVELOP appropriate individualized treatment strategies for those patients who would benefit from new treatments in all the major subtypes of breast cancer and also focus on reversing resistance to commonly used therapies.
