ABC6 - Advanced Breast Cancer Sixth International Consensus Conference - PDF Version

4-6 November 2021, Lisbon, Portugal

The Advanced Breast Cancer (ABC) Consensus Conference has established itself as the major international conference for advanced Breast Cancer, and a forum for sharing best clinical practices, inform on the latest scientific updates in the field and, mainly, continue, over the editions, advancing on the goal of improving outcomes for all patients with advanced breast cancer.

The ABC consensus conference started as a pioneering initiative of the European School of Oncology (ESO) in 2011, and from the willingness to change the abandonment feelings from ABC patients. The encouragement and positive feedback we have received from individual patients and professionals has emphasised the importance of this initiative and reinforced our belief that this effort must continue.

The powerful lobbying and advocacy efforts from the ABC Conference are now being taken further by the ABC Global Alliance, an independent non-profit multi-stakeholder organisation dedicated exclusively to improve and extend the lives of women and men living with ABC worldwide. The ABC Global Alliance has now taken over the responsibility for the organisation of the ABC Consensus Conference.

At ABC6, all topics will be presented from the perspective of a multidisciplinary and multi-professional approach, from basic research to clinical implementation. The conference will again close with a consensus session where discussion will focus on updating the ABC international consensus guidelines.

It is my pleasure to invite you to join us at the Advanced Breast Cancer Sixth International Consensus Conference (ABC6) that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, on 4-6 November 2021, and work with us to improve the lives of all ABC patients.
