UC breast cancer event focuses on innovation

The day’s events will focus on the latest guidelines on genetic testing, address the purpose for high-risk evaluation, discuss new strategies in breast imaging and explore the changing world of metastatic breast cancer, among other topics.

“At the University of Cincinnati, we have world-class researchers who are thinking outside of the box and coming up with innovative approaches in treating this disease,” says Dr. Elyse Lower, director of the center, professor in the Division of Hematology Oncology and a UC Health oncologist. “This annual event allows us to educate attendees about new advances in the field of breast cancer and learn about the work experts at the UC Cancer Institute are doing right here, in our own backyard. We’re excited to host the conference again to showcase our strengths locally and educate on what’s going on in labs that could become new treatments tomorrow.”
