Welcome Message
Dear Colleagues,
It gives us immense pleasure to announce “Young Women’s Forum – YW” on 12th August, 2021 via Virtual Meeting setup to kick off a niche but much needed discussion for the management of Breast Cancer in Young Women.
YW Committee envisions to bring attention to much needed focus that most young women with breast cancer have complex disease while they have many years ahead of them and the effect of treatment affects on their reproductive cycles, family life and careers and also that most of the treatment are based on clinical data from older women.
Therefore, with YW 2021 the scientific and organizing committee are committed to highlight the scientific based new evidences from global leaders, local perspectives and protocols in management of young women with breast cancer and also aims to foster collaborations by providing a panel for multidisciplinary teams to discuss difficult cases and build a future perspective for Asia Pacific and Middle East region.
The committee would like to welcome you all to initiate a meaningful forum to make a difference in young women’s life.
See you on 12th August at 5pm Singapore time!
