KK Breast Seminar
Thinking Beyond Guidelines
Conceived by the only dedicated hospital-based Breast Unit in Singapore, the KK Breast Seminar brings together specialists from various fields involved in the management of breast cancer. It is held every 4 months. Each seminar revolves around a specific chosen topic related to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment and speakers are invited to give short presentations related to the chosen topic. Any health professional directly involved or interested in the management of breast cancer patients is most welcome to attend.
It is our hope that the KK Breast Seminar will provide an open platform for specialists to share their ideas and think beyond just guidelines. We envisage that in the near future, the KK Breast Seminar will evolve into a regional meeting with invited foreign experts and hands-on workshops and courses that will benefit every one involved in the care of women with breast cancer.
