Mission Statement
The American Society of Breast Surgeons was
formed to encourage the study of breast surgery, to promote research
and development of advanced surgical techniques, to improve standards
of practice for breast surgery and serve
as a forum for the exchange of ideas.
Membership
The Society was founded in 1995 and now has
more than 2400 members in the United States and in 35
countries throughout the world. Active membership
is open to surgeons with a special interest in breast disease.
Associate membership is open to non-general surgeons or non-surgeon
physicians with a demonstrated interest in breast surgery. Affiliate

and scientists who are engaged in the care of breast surgery
patients. Candidate membership is offered to general surgery
