Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women. Diagnosis and treatments are part of the practice of a wide number of medical specialists and there are national initiatives calling for a multidisciplinary approach to the care of breast cancer patients. The multiple components and aspects of the treatment of breast cancer require a high level of coordinated care among different specialties. This coordination becomes even more challenging because of the rapid evolution of new treatment modalities and is especially important due to of the possibility of improved outcomes both in terms of curing the disease, as well as maintaining the physical and psychological well-being of the patient. The meeting will offer presentations and panel discussions on a number of currently important topics in the local treatment of breast cancer including oncoplastic surgery, the role of prophylactic mastectomy and quality of life as it pertains to survivorship. Experts in the field will cover the state of partial breast irradiation, intraoperative radiation therapy, timing and indications for post-mastectomy radiation, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and its role in restaging breast cancer. Additionally, the program will examine nipple-sparing mastectomy both therapeutic and prophylactic, treatment of breast cancer in a previously augmented breast, the status of MRI screening for breast cancer, the effects of reconstruction on the delivery of post-mastectomy radiation, and the evolving role of alloplastic materials in breast reconstruction. It will also cover in depth the state-of-the-art emerging field of lymphatic surgery to treat lymphedema as well as sensory concerns to the most complex reconstructions available covering topics such as sensation sparing mastectomies to restoring sensation with nerve transfers. The latest updates on national trends and data on financial toxicity related to cancer care will also be discussed. This three-day symposium will evaluate and discuss different models for coordination of breast cancer care from major centers across the United States. The meeting’s intent is not only to educate the faculty and attendees about the wide range of options available for breast cancer coordinated care, but also to encourage the development of more standardized treatment strategies and protocols for the local treatment of breast cancer.

1. Apply an evidence-based protocol for the conservative treatment of lymphedema, including primary, adjunctive, and alternative treatments.
2. Identify the new options available to surgically treat patients with lymphedema.
3. Describe different philosophies regarding radiation delivery including new techniques and how to minimize side effects to the surrounding tissue.
4. Identify the patient population who would benefit from genetic testing in breast cancer care.
5. Implement surgical techniques designed to improve the likelihood of nipple preservation and reduce the risk of flap or nipple necrosis with mastectomy.
6. Identify the most common causes of post mastectomy pain syndromes.
7. Recognize the radiologist’s role in Identifying anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).tectomy.nd breast reconstruction
8. Identify the epidemiology and current pathogenesis of BIA-ALCL and breast implant illness.
9. Describe different philosophies regarding timing of radiation, radiation delivery and reconstruction and how to minimize side effects.
10. Implement narcotic sparing pathways, such as enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol.
11. Recognize the impact that financial toxicity related to the care of breast cancer can have on access to care and on outcomes.
12. Identify the different methods of breast reconstruction including implant-based reconstruction, flap-based reconstruction, and microsurgical-assisted free flap reconstruction.
13. Recognize the disparities that exist with different populations and their respective access to reconstructive surgery.lieved pathogenesis, epidemiology, and its impact on prosthetic reconstruction
14. Identify the importance of the total care of the patient including the financial burden and impact this may have on the healing process.
15. List common anatomic causes of postmastectomy pain.
16. Define the roles and responsibilities of physical and occupational therapists in the continuum of care post-mastectomy.
