Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Summit
September 11-12, 2009
InterContinental Hotel and Bank of America Conference Center
Cleveland, Ohio
Description
With heightened awareness and screening, breast cancers are detected at earlier stages and in the younger population. It has become evident that options in treatments to the patients and family members become more complex. Genetic information has been incorporated into consideration and strategic treatment plan. Advancements in medical and surgical treatment as well as reconstructive options have helped provide patients with state of the art cancer treatment with an additional focus on restoration of their self-esteem.
Our approach is to discuss the multidisciplinary aspects of all stages of breast cancer treatments in a case based interactive format. In addition, the Cleveland Clinic and guest faculty will touch on new approaches in the care of patients with breast cancer.
Target Audience
This program is intended for physicians and allied health professionals in medicine, surgical, plastic surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, and genetics.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe new approaches of treatment for patients with breast cancer
- Summarize strategic overall planning in breast cancer treatment
- Review and interpret the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to patient care
