6 th World Conference on Breast Cancer
This important event is being organized with the cooperation of many organizations from around the world and through the generous contributions of our sponsors and donors.
The World Conference is inspired by the vision of a world without breast cancer and moved forward by the passion of individuals determined to eradicate the disease. Through their commitment, co-operation and energy we are able to create an international forum where all aspects of breast cancer can be addressed and immediate action steps taken.
This conference follows the success of 5 previous World Conferences during which over 1,000 delegates, presenters, media and volunteers from more than 80 countries addressed the concerns of women and men who deal with the realities of breast cancer.
