Breast cancer is the most common cancer and a leading cause of mortality in women in South East Asia. In recent years, health care in general, and particularly for women has received significant attention. The South East Asia Breast Cancer Symposium (SEABCS) provides a forum in which global and regional experts in the field of breast cancer will present and discuss advanced methods in: diagnosis, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy for both early and late stage interventions.

Also included will be strengthening and expanding experience sharing among breast cancer support groups in an effort to enhance patient’s understanding of their disease as well as to improve their quality of life through the course treatment.
