Dear Colleagues,

 

The breast cancer program at the National Center for Cancer Care and Research has taken the lead in establishing an educational initiative for clinical teams by developing a two day breast cancer conference to share the latest development in the management of breast cancer patients and facilitate best practice knowledge sharing.

 

These up-to-date developments are based on research and informed evidence that can be used to guide prevention, diagnosis, and treatment options to improve patient outcomes and save lives.

 

The annual breast cancer conference to be held in Doha emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. It is expected to attract around 300 participants including medical oncologists, pathologists, gynecologists, surgeons, doctors and physicians from PHCC and the private sector to meet and network.

 

This conference activity, which has earned a total of XX Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours - category 1, accredited from Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners (QCHP), will focus on comprehensive, evidenced-based clinical practices related to breast cancer care within a multidisciplinary setting. It will discuss the importance of analyzing and debating available facts to provide the most up to date knowledge in the management of breast cancer. It will also develop recommendations with the ultimate goal of improving standards of care, increasing survival rates, and enhancing patients’ quality of life.

 

It is therefore with great enthusiasm that we invite you to attend the Annual Breast Cancer Conference 2017 that will take place on 27 an 28 October 2017, at Sheraton - Doha.

Under the theme, “Breast Cancer Care from Bench to Bedside”, the conference will include a number of plenary lectures, case based discussion sessions, followed by some social activities in and around Qatar for our distinguished guests.

 

We hope you will join us and we look forward to sharing with you as much knowledge and expertise as possible.
