Welcome
The second UK Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Symposium will be held on Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th January 2020.
The meeting aims to provide all those with an active interest in breast cancer research and treatment an opportunity to consider and discuss how the latest advances may impact upon their and others areas of expertise. Treatment of breast cancer has for many years been dependent on the interaction of professionals from many disciplines. Research into improving our understanding of this complex disease and prospects for improving its prevention and treatment requires interdisciplinary collaboration to make meaningful advances.
The meeting will include national and international keynote speakers, plenary sessions, oral and poster presentations.
