BCY5 WORKSHOP FOR PATIENTS AND PATIENTS ADVOCATES: What you should know about breast cancer in young women

Chair: O.Pagani, CH

Breast cancer in young women is a complex disease, occurring when these women are at the peak of their reproductive years, family life and careers. Being a somewhat rare disease, the optimal management of these patients is based on scientific data derived from clinical trials mostly conducted on older women. Many aspects of breast cancer in young women are therefore poorly understood (e.g. etiology and biology among others) and research is much needed in this field. In addition, young women have many years ahead of them to suffer the long-term effects of treatment and specific survivorship issues (fertility and job among others).
The international health situation forced us to turn the in-person BREAST CANCER IN YOUNG WOMEN FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS SYMPOSIUM into a virtual event. It will be a challenging opportunity for updating the available evidence on this field and generating future research concepts and collaborations. We have done our best to design and build a virtual meeting able to keep the interactive, international, and collaborative spirit.

It will cover
- challenges and opportunities in different cultural and economic settings;
- follow-up care;
- guidelines;
- challenges in the management of ABC in young women.

It will also include a Consensus Session that will form the basis for a Consensus Guidelines manuscript to be published after the Symposium. We hope that you will decide to join us online and contribute to further develop the understanding and treatment of this disease.
