In the last few years, the prognosis of breast cancer patients has improved and breast cancer mortality is declining sharply in the majority of western countries. This is the result of a better understanding of breast cancer biology, women education, screening programmes, more effective treatments.

Because of this exciting scenario, the management of breast cancer is becoming more and more demanding: on one side, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to assure an appropriate clinico-pathological diagnosis and to choose the most effective therapeutic strategy; on the other side, the clinicians must have a thorough knowledge of the biological and clinical parameters useful to tailor the treatment on the needs of the individual patient.

This Advanced Course on Breast Cancer will bring together scientists involved in molecular and translational research and clinicians interested in breast cancer treatment and in the development of new agents with the aim to:

  1. make the point on the state of art of breast cancer management
  2. debate some hot issues
  3. involve all the participants in the discussion of clinical cases
