Breast Cancer Screening Conference
12 ESCO credits
18.06.2015 - 20.06.2015
O'Reilly Hall, UCD, Dublin, Ireland
CONFERENCE
Description
Chairs: D.A. Cameron, UK - N. Houssami, AU - M. Rosselli Del Turco, IT
Host-Chair: J. Geraghty, IE
Scientific and educational supervision: F. Cardoso, PT - A. Costa, IT
This conference will focus on using current knowledge in breast screening and its outcomes to inform future screening practice for breast cancer and its treatment. Evidence on the implementation and the impact of breast cancer screening, its detection and its treatment, will be presented, including perspectives on the UK’s Marmot report. We will look beyond the controversy of overdiagnosis of breast cancer from screening to seek solutions relating to overtreatment in the context of multidisciplinary care. Practice-relevant topics will cover preoperative diagnosis, borderline lesions, surgical management including sentinel nodes and tumour margins, and radiotherapy and reconstruction. The scope of the course will range from the biology and spectrum of early breast cancer to economic aspects of population screening, and from early detection and
chemoprevention to dealing with potential overtreatment. Special issues for contemporary breast cancer screening, such as informed decision-making, risk-based screening, digital breast tomosynthesis, and multi-gene assays, will be highlighted to advance knowledge and practice in breast screening moving into the future.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Develop an understanding of the impact of population breast screening, both benefits and harms
• Discuss the implementation of screening programs, including challenges and emerging issues for programs
• Explore/discuss the potential to deal with overtreatment in the context of screendetected breast cancer
• Be updated on the evidence in controversial aspects of diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer
• Discuss emerging technologies for screening and prognostication
MAIN TOPICS
• Breast screening programmes and policies
• Challenges in diagnosis and treatment
• Challenges in breast screening
• Overtreatment
• Controversaries in assessment and treatment
• Future prospects and new technologies
