Annual Meeting 2010

Rounds with the Investigators: Clinical Research Leaders Consult on Challenging Cases of Early Breast Cancer

For the fourth year in a row, the Society has elected to partner with Dr. Neil Love and his education group Research To Practice (RTP) to host the Thursday evening industry-supported satellite symposium at the 11th Annual Meeting. Once again Dr. Love and his group have proposed an innovative and exciting concept that we believe will help create a truly beneficial and worthwhile event. After several years of focusing on the presentation of clinical data, Dr. Love and his team will take a different approach and concentrate on the practical application of research findings in breast cancer management and patient care.

The meeting will not include didactic presentations and instead will rely on the expert perspectives of clinical investigators commenting on actual patient cases presented live by Society members. To obtain the cases that will be included in the event, RTP recently enlisted the assistance of Society members to provide real, challenging cases from their own practices for presentation. At the meeting, select Society members — either in person or via video broadcast feed — will formally present their cases to the faculty for treatment consultation and recommendations. We believe the end result will be an interesting, practical and relevant educational opportunity focused on the management of early breast cancer.
