Abstract

38th San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, San Antonio, TX, USA, 8-12 December 2015 In November 1978, during Breast Cancer Awareness Week, the first annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) was held as a part of an educational program conceived to reduce breast cancer death rate. Only 141 physicians attended the conference. Recently, the 38th edition of the SABCS welcomed >7000 attendees from all over the world. We will discuss a selection of the most significant advances presented at the 2015 SABCS, specifically focusing on those data that could have an impact on the clinical practice in the near future.
