80046010 - Fifth Annual Metastatic Breast Cancer Conference

Thursday, November 15, 2018, 12:00 AM - Friday, November 16, 2018, 5:00 PM, Turner Auditorium


The Metastatic Breast Cancer Conference (MBCC ) was established in 2014 as an annual medical conference for metastatic breast cancer by Theresa’s Research Foundation, with leadership from Dr. Matthew Ellis and Dr. Danny Welch. The specific focus on metastatic disease is based on a major, as yet, unmet clinical need (incurability); thereby distinguishing this conference from other breast cancer-centered conferences. The goal of this meeting is to bring together a diverse audience to create a collaborative research environment to accelerate research with a long term goal of developing curative approaches for metastatic breast cancer patients.
