Breast cancer course 2023
Dear colleagues, for the third year in a row, the Bulgarian Breast Cancer and Gynecological Cancer Association is organizing its eponymous course.
After the incredible success of the course in 2022 (you can see it here), we have prepared an even more amazing program this year!
This year the course will be held on September 23 and 24 in the meeting room on the 8th floor of the „Dr. Shterev“ Medical Complex. Your registration will only be considered complete after completing the registration form below and paying the entry fee.
The course includes a hands-on workshop on biopsy of breast lesions, a hands-on workshop on reading pap smear results and an HPV test. What is new in our program are multidisciplinary discussions, in which all participants are involved, discussing a clinical case – as it would happen at an oncocommittee!
We have provided experts in various fields with whom we will discuss the cases you have sent us.
The deadline for submitting clinical cases has passed! There is still room for clinical cases related to cervical cancer. You can send the clinical cases in word or power point format, including clinical data, imaging and follow-up information and 2-3 questions you would like to discuss in our round table to the following address: bbcancerassociation@gmail.com
This year, September 23rd is dedicated to breast cancer, and September 24th to cervical cancer. The registration fee for each individual day is BGN 50.00, and for both days together it is BGN 70.00, paid to the company’s account (IBAN: BG88BPBI7940109130030). This year, places for the course are limited to 30 places for each of the days
Those of you who send a clinical case that is accepted for discussion during the course can benefit from a 50% reduction in the registration fee – BGN 35.00.
