Does breast cancer in women under 45 require distinct treatment approaches compared to those over 45?

Join us for the premier regional scientific event focused on the unique challenges and advancements in diagnosing and treating breast cancer in women under 45. Proudly sponsored by the Sandra Levine Young Women’s Breast Cancer Program, this symposium brings together leading experts and healthcare professionals for a day of cutting-edge insights and collaborative learning.

This course is designed for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, as well as others including nurse navigators, nurse assistants and others in medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology and genetics, as well as researchers involved in breast cancer and breast cancer patients.
