Multidisciplinarity is at the heart of breast cancer management.<\/p>\n

Even though over 80% of breast cancer patients survive for more than 5 years, the disease is still prevalent, reducing the survival and quality of life of patients.<\/p>\n

In 1998, the European Breast Cancer Conference was set up to provide a platform for breast cancer specialists and patients to discuss the multidisciplinary approach<\/strong> to breast cancer care. It provided the specialists with the latest updates in treatment<\/strong>. It was the first conference of its kind<\/strong>, which had a patient advocacy organisation as a partner, ensuring that latest information reached the patients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A truly multidisciplinary collaboration and education is needed in breast cancer with an approach to provide equality across borders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
