Program Objectives

Please join Dr. Beth DuPree & Dr. William Scarlett for an educational dinner symposium on pushing the limit with patient selection and techniques for nipple sparing mastectomies. During this program, our faculty will discuss the previously radiated patient, address the ptotic breast and touch on nerve grafting, while maintaining safety as our priority. We highly encourage audience participation, discussion, and questions at the end.

Faculty

• Dr. Beth DuPree
• Dr. William Scarlett

Overview

During this program, a multidisciplinary panel of experts will discuss the role and importance of surgeons in genetic testing in early breast cancer.

Topics will include key characteristics and unmet needs of patients with germline BRCA mutations (gBRCAm), collaborating with the multidisciplinary team to integrate genetic testing in practice, genetic counseling considerations and how gBRCAm testing may inform clinical decisions.

Program Objectives

• Discuss the need for individualized care plans for patients with gBRCAm breast cancer due to differences in underlying tumour biology vs. non-gBRCAm patients
• Discuss the surgical and treatment implications for patients with gBRCAm eBC
• Explore the role and importance of surgeons within the BRCA testing pathway

Overview

In this interactive hands-on workshop, participants will learn about optimizing analgesia during breast procedures with a focus on ultrasound-guided pectoralis (PECS) blocks, serratus plane blocks, and erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks. Participants will learn the indications, benefits, technical tips and evidence supporting the performance of these analgesic techniques.

Program Objectives

• Explain the rationale for optimizing pain control patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer, and the impact of uncontrolled postoperative pain
• Define the goals of multimodal analgesia and the relative value of techniques that employ local anesthetics
• Discuss the benefits of opioid-sparing treatment regimens in the care of patients experiencing post-surgical pain
• Apply best practices pertaining to the administration of local anesthetics during breast cancer surgery by both the surgeon and anesthesiologist

Overview

Join us for breakfast and an educational session on how Perimeter’s margin visualization technology gives breast surgeons the insights they need to act in the moment. Moderated by Dr. Beth DuPree, Dr. Beth Anglin and Dr. Michele Carpenter will present on how they are using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in their ORs to help personalize clinical decisions for each patient at the point of care.

Presentation Highlights

• How the Perimeter S-Series OCT provides high-resolution, intraoperative imaging at 10x the resolution of X-ray at 2mm depth to visualize microscopic features associated with cellular-level disease
• Lumpectomy case reviews will show how OCT aids real-time clinical decisions and correlates with post-op pathology
• Ask your questions during a panel discussion and Q&A

Presenters

• Beth Anglin, MD, FACS
• Michele Carpenter, MD, FACS
• Beth DuPree, MD, FACS, ABOIM (Moderator)

Overview

Localization technology continues to evolve. Hear comparisons among localization options, from wire-based to wire-free guidance, including the impacts of these options on the patient experience, and on workflow and scheduling optimization for both the OR and radiology. Join Dr. Valerie Gorman as she shares her perspective and experiences through an in-depth review of clinical cases.

Program Objectives

• Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of wire vs wire-free breast tumor localization for surgical guidance
• Describe techniques for wire-free localization in the breast
• Explain the use of wire-free localization and neoadjuvant treatment
• Understand the impact of wire-free localization on oncoplastic breast surgery techniques

Overview

Volumetric Specimen Imaging (VSI) is a novel intraoperative technology for high-resolution true 3D imaging of surgical specimens. Compared to 2D specimen radiography and tomosynthesis, VSI generates a fully 3D image in real-time, allowing for multiplanar (MPR) viewing as well as advanced volume rendering visualization by surgeons. VSI offers the highest clarity thin slice cross-sectional images available which eliminate overlapping effects thereby elucidating subtle masses and micro-calcifications; this is especially beneficial for occult lesions and cases with dense breast tissue.

Program Objectives

Surgeons share their experience using the Clarix Imaging Volumetric Specimen Imaging (VSI) system with an opportunity for attendees to interact with the system. Clarix Imaging will also present the most recently published clinical trials results comparing the 3D images generated by VSI to post-surgical pathology results.
