The conference’s coordinating chair, Fatima Cardoso, welcomes attendees:
‘ABC guidelines are jointly developed by ESO (European School of Oncology) and ESMO (European Society of Medical Oncology) and guidelines or ABC conferences have been endorsed and supported by several other international oncology organizations such as EUSOMA (European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists), ESTRO (European Society of Radiation Oncology), ESGO (European Society of Gynaecological Oncology), UICC (Union International Contre le Cancer), SIS (Senologic International Society) / ISS (International School of Senology), FLAM (Federacion Latino-Americana de Mastologia), OECI (Organization of European Cancer Institutes), Susan G. Komen and BCRF (Breast Cancer Research Foundation), and have official representation from ASCO.
The recent creation of the ABC Global Alliance, will also provide a much needed platform for the development of important projects, aiming to strongly impact on the survival and quality of life of advanced breast cancer patients.
It is therefore with great enthusiasm that we invite you to attend the Advanced Breast Cancer Fourth ESO-ESMO International Consensus Conference (ABC4) that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, on 2-4 November 2017, which will be followed by the first meeting of the ABC Global Alliance on 4 and 5 November 2017.’
The conference is timed perfectly to follow on from Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) 2017, where all funds raised go towards providing specialist nurses, local services and support networks to those in need.
