8th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-8), Vienna, March 21-24, 2012

摘要

For the 8th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC) 4,000 international scientists, physicians, patient advocates, and industry representatives convened at the Austria Centre Vienna. In an intensive exchange of interdisciplinary experts involving a variety of popular formats (state-of-the-art lectures, clinical science symposia, debates, proffered paper sessions, etc.), the newest developments in breast cancer research and treatment were presented and discussed. A record number of abstract submissions were received for the EBCC, and an international peer review committee found an interesting selection covering all important aspects of breast cancer research, including diagnosis and screening, local and systemic treatment, lifestyle issues and structural aspects of multidisciplinary breast health centres.
