San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

 

The 2015 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium is being held December 8-12 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. About 7,500 researchers and medical experts from 96 countries are expected to attend.

This event is designed for researchers, physicians, health professionals, patient advocates, and others who share the mission and interest of battling and conquering breast cancer.

The Symposium gives researchers the chance to present their latest findings, work with other scientists, and collaborate ideas.

Battling with breast cancer doesn’t just involve finding a cure, but it is also important to make a positive effort and difference in the lives of people affected by breast cancer.

In the World Wide Motion Picture film, The Lovely Patient, Leonard discovers the true importance in family and the community revolving around breast cancer. He struggles to help his mother get past breast cancer and meanwhile learns it is not limited to just females.

Large reflective international studies of male breast cancer are presented at the Symposium each year and are understudied because of its rarity. However, it is a mission for researchers to inform the public of the unique characters male breast cancer patients have compared to women.

Don’t forget to check out the heartfelt film, The Lovely Patient. Even though it might make you tear up, you will surely feel the genuine love and bond Leonard creates with different cancer patients.
