Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e9ea84/lynn_sage_breast_c) has announced the addition of the "Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Symposium" training to their offering.
The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University recently conducted the Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Symposium.
The 10th Annual Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Symposium is intended for individuals actively engaged clinically or scientifically in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology, oncology, surgery, gynecology, family practice, and genetics.
The optimal management of breast cancer is rapidly evolving. A multidisciplinary team of medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, plastic surgeons and genetic counselors are routinely involved in offering treatment recommendations for individual patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer. With the emergence of prevention strategies, women at high risk of developing breast cancer are now evaluated for medical therapies, surgical options and lifestyle changes that may reduce their risk of developing breast cancer. This activity includes a forum of discussions and presentations in laboratory and clinical research concerning the care of patients with breast cancer.
Some highlights of the program include:
- Cognitive Dysfunction Following Breast Cancer Therapy
- Managing Quality of Life Following Completion of Adjuvant Therapy
- Current Issues in HER2 Testing
- Screening for Diagnosis: Guidelines for Mammography &MRI
