You are invited...
On
behalf of the Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI), I invite those with
interests in breast cancer treatment in medically underserved world regions
and issues of Supportive Care and Quality of
Life, including morphine access, to attend the dynamic “Global
Summit on International Breast Health: Guidelines for
International Breast Health and Cancer Control – Supportive Care and Quality
of Life,” in October 2012 in
Vienna.
The scientific program will be co-chaired
by
Dr. Julie Gralow and Dr. Eduardo Rosenblatt. Dr.
Gralow is a renowned oncologist, Professor of Medical
Oncology, at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Clinical Research
Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Director, Breast Medical
Oncology, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and member of the Harvard Global Task
Force for Expanded Access to Cancer Care and Control in Developing Countries.
Dr. Eduardo Rosenblatt is a highly distinguished scientist at the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Programme
of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT) within the Applied Radiation Biology and
Radiotherapy, Division of Human Health and Nuclear Sciences and Applications, in
Vienna, Austria.
The BHGI Global Summit will be a stimulating time of
innovation that, ultimately, will produce tangible
multidisciplinary
results to effectively promote
awareness, management and outcomes of cancer patients
throughout the world, and specifically in low- and middle resource countries, in
this critical area of patient care,
Supportive Care and Quality of Life.
Please join us for this
unique event in the international health community
to address this often neglected but essential component of basic patient care
for low- and middle-income countries, and other medically underserved world
regions.
