RISE UP for Breast Cancer 2026

RISE UP for Breast Cancer 2026 is organized by University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and will be held from Feb 19 - 21, 2026 at Hotel Nikko San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America.

Description:
RISE UP (Revolutionizing Investigations to Step Up Prevention) for Breast Cancer is an interdisciplinary conference that will bring together practitioners, scientists, advocates, and more across women's health specialties and leverage what we know about breast cancer biology, treatment, and hormonal management to better approach breast cancer prevention and treatment.

The conference will discuss the rise of precision treatment for breast cancer and how it can best inform precision prevention. One goal is to explore new ways to manage cycle control, birth control, postpartum weaning, IVF, and post-menopausal symptom management so that these interventions will reduce the risk and incidence of breast cancer.

Objectives:
As a result of the education, the participant will have improved skills or strategies to:

• Identify new classifications and treatments for breast cancer.
• Discuss new ways to assess risk for breast cancer and what is available for risk reduction.
• Survey the potential for hormonal products as risk-reducing interventions for breast cancer
• Analyze the impact of restricted access to reproductive services on the health and well-being of women.
• Create opportunities to lower the barriers to participation in trials through patient-centered design and strategies to make trials more accessible regardless of insurance.
• Identify the differences in biologic effects on breast tissue and other organs between selective estrogen receptor modulators and tissue-specific estrogen complexes being studied for breast cancer risk reduction.
• Evaluate the challenges and potential benefits in studying the GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists for breast cancer risk reduction.
