February 6, 2010 · La Jolla, CA

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines

Taught by the top academic experts in breast cancer this is THE symposium on breast cancer that you should attend in 2010. It contains the relevant data from the recent ASCO and SABCS. Personalized medicine for treating breast cancer is a reality. This symposium will help clinicians improve their selection of the most appropriate therapeutics, and will also help clinicians to identify the patient sub-populations of breast cancer who will respond to specific drug therapies.
