Join us for the Society’s 24th Annual Meeting April 26–30, 2023, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts. We’ve developed an exciting program designed to meet the needs and interests of breast surgeons.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released its 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule, which confirms the nearly 4.5% cut to surgeons, harming patient access to needed surgical care.

The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and The American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) are pleased to announce a shared scholarship, the 2023 ACS/ASBrS International Scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded to a surgeon specifically working in breast cancer surgery in underserved and developing areas to improve the quality of breast cancer surgical services.

ASBrS tasked its Patient Safety and Quality committee to review the literature regarding same day mastectomy and to provide guidance for surgeons who choose to integrate this into their practice. The findings of this investigation are published this month in the Annals of Surgical Oncology (ASO).
