5th Annual International Symposium: Improving Breast Cancer Management and Outcomes

项目概要/摘要： 这次科学会议的总体目标是加强防治乳腺癌的能力。 改善低收入和中等收入国家乳腺癌管理差距的管理 （LMIC）和发达国家。这一目标反映了LMCI中乳腺癌负担的增加， 基础设施相当匮乏，研究领域的投资也很少。研讨会将有助于 提高对LMIC和美国多学科乳腺癌管理和结局的认识。 会议内容旨在通过让乳腺癌护理提供者参与， 研究人员为乳腺癌的早期发现和管理提出建议， LMIC中乳腺癌干预的证据基础。 由于技术资源和劳动力资源的限制， 乳腺癌发病率、高收入国家的乳腺癌研究和治疗范例 不能仅仅通过对低资源环境的微小调整来推断。这次会议将利用 参与者的专业知识和经验，以促进新的概念，方法， 在资源匮乏的环境中，乳腺癌往往是一个欠发达的领域。 研究计划和示范项目将鼓励应用这些新概念， 方法、方法和干预，沿着严格的评估，以改善证据- 基地虽然从事这一领域的专家们很热情，但国际旅行的经济限制 常常限制他们见面的能力。此外，这次会议有一个架构，将使自己成为 充分的讨论，不同的意见，以及不同学科观点的融合。 专题讨论会的形式和议程是专门为讨论其具体主题而设计的。的 会议的结构安排允许专家就每个重点领域进行简短介绍，以增进知识 分享，然后进行深入的促进讨论，以鼓励产生新的方法， 促进合作。 为期四天的会议旨在通过对每个重点领域的简要介绍来实现主题。 第一天和第二天是全天的研讨会和实践和培训，包括外科，病理学， 放射学和其他主题。下半场（第三和第四天）将是一个深入的介绍， 个别国家乳腺癌公共卫生流行病学。第四天是翻译研究的汇编 以及循证程序的实际应用，包括外科，病理学，放射学， 肿瘤学、姑息治疗和精准医疗，由实地专家主持讨论。

Project Summary/Abstract: The overall objective of this scientific meeting is to strengthen capacity for breast cancer management to ameliorate breast cancer management disparities in the low – and middle-income countries (LMIC) and developed world. This objective reflects the growing burden of breast cancer in LMCI, with a comparable paucity of infrastructure and little investment in the field of research. The symposium will serve to improve awareness of multidisciplinary breast cancer management and outcomes in LMIC and United States. The conference content seeks to shift clinical paradigms by engaging breast cancer care providers and researchers to develop recommendations for early detection and management of breast cancer that improves the evidence-base for breast cancer intervention in LMIC. Due to limitations of resources, both technical and of workforce, as well as social determinants of breast cancer incidence, the breast cancer research and treatment paradigms from high- income nations cannot merely be extrapolated with minor adaptations to low-resource settings. This meeting will leverage the expertise and experience of participants to foster novel concepts, approaches, methodologies, and interventions specific to low-resource settings, where breast cancer is often an under-developed field. The research plans and demonstration projects will encourage the application of these new concepts, approaches, methodologies, and interventions, along with rigorous evaluation to improve the evidence- base. While the experts engaged in this field are enthusiastic, the financial limitations of international travel often restrict their ability to meet. Furthermore, this conference has a schema that will render itself to ample discussion, dissent, and integration of viewpoints from the different disciplines. The format and agenda of the symposium are designed specifically to address its specific themes. The meeting is structured to allow for brief presentations on each focus area by experts to improve knowledge sharing, followed by in-depth facilitated discussion to encourage the generation of novel approaches and stimulate collaboration. The four-day meeting is structured to achieve the themes with brief presentations on each focus area. Day-one and two which are full day of workshops and hands-on and training, covers Surgery, Pathology, Radiology and other topics. The second half (day-three and four) will be an in-depth presentations starting with individual country breast cancer public health epidemiology. Day-four is a compilation of translational research and practical application of evidence-based procedures that includes topics of surgery, pathology, radiology, oncology, palliative care and precision medicine with discussions chaired by field experts.
