Why attend?
Following its inception in 2010 as a small scale study day held at Nottingham University Hospitals, the Symposium on Primary Breast Cancer in Older Women has now become a biennial event, the only one of its kind in the UK. Since 2013, it has been hosted by The University of Nottingham under the auspices of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG).
Objectives
With an overarching goal of optimising the management of primary breast cancer in older women, the event's aims are:
- To develop an in-depth understanding around the biology and treatment options
- To explore the specific physical and psychosocial needs and consideration including patients perspective
- To gain insight into the development of a holistic and multidisciplinary management approach and the importance of supporting research
