Sessions & Tracks
Track 1: Breast Cancer Staging
Breast cancer staging is essential to determine the extent of cancer in the body, guiding treatment decisions like chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted drugs. Both medical and pathologic staging systems are utilized, with tissue samples from surgery often providing the most accurate results. In cases where surgery isn’t feasible, clinical staging is employed. Imaging technologies like CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and PET scans help identify cancer's spread, while the TNM system categorizes tumors, nodes, and metastases.
