With this event we hope to continue to create a consensus between breast oncology experts that is vital for the multidisciplinary management of primary breast cancer patients as well as the development of new algorithm forms of breast cancer treatment. It is especially the local management that is an issue within primary breast cancer treatment and it is this issue that we aim to discuss in great detail with your assistance.
