Due to the rapid pace of new clinically relevant data, it is not always easy in clinical practice to make the right therapy decision and to find suitable answers to the questions of our patients. We, therefore, want to inform you about the new developments in an innovative training concept and discuss current topics and case reports with you. Practical interactive exchange is our priority. In addition, as a member of the Panel, I will, so to speak, give you a first-hand account of the St. Gallen Consensus Conference that has just ended.  The Breast Cancer Breast Cancer 2019 is a brand new MCI Academy event series. From June to August 2019, 5 events will take place throughout Germany on the latest study results and therapy trends for breast cancer. In keynote speeches and ContentCamps a high practical relevance is conveyed and the discussion and active participation of the participants are promoted. The MCI Academy is the organizer of content-centered medical continuing education events that combine completely new types of event formats with innovative forms of interaction. Speaker: Mrs. Prof. dr. med. Nadia Harbeck Time: 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
