The 4th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC–4)

An invitation to Europe's largest forum on breast cancer

What is EBCC? It is the only forum in Europe that involves all the major players in breast cancer. The conference is unique in encouraging interaction between clinicians and patients in a partnership of equals. EBCC–4 is expected to attract a record 4,000 delegates from around 80 countries worldwide.

The conference covers the entire spectrum of breast cancer and highlights what is new across fields as diverse as:

• Breast screening – overdiagnosis and overtreatment

• Breast cancer incidence and mortality – latest trends

• Tailored systemic therapy – dream or reality?

• Women at high risk - who are they and what can be done?

• Young women and the elderly – their special needs

• Developing a joint European strategy against breast cancer
