University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers and colleagues will be presenting the latest findings in breast cancer research at the 46th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Dec. 5-9.
The international symposium features presentations outlining basic, translational, clinical and community-based study findings focused on advancing the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. The meeting is attended by nearly 10,000 clinicians and scientists from all over the world and is the largest and most prestigious scientific gathering on breast cancer research.
