Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women. It is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with nearly 2 million patients being diagnosed with the disease in 2018. Men get breast cancer too, though much less frequently.

The purpose of this session, which will take place during Breast Cancer Awareness month (October 2020), is to raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of international academic research. The speakers are breast cancer experts and representatives from cancer research and patient organizations.

The main topic of this session will focus on the growing importance of treatment de-escalation to improve breast cancer patients’ quality of life by avoiding unnecessary over-treatment. Breast cancer experts from the EORTC and BIG networks will give examples of de-escalation clinical trials and will explain how they may help breast cancer patients by safely reducing the treatment burden. A patient advocate will also give her perspective on this topic. This session will be presented in English. More information on the webinar’s page.
