Yale Cancer Center Experts Present New Research at Leading Breast Cancer Symposium

Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine will present new research at the 46^th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) from December 5 to 9.

The international symposium provides leading-edge breast cancer information on prevention, etiology, diagnosis, and therapy as well as experimental biology. This year’s symposium, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, will include about 10,000 clinicians, scientists, patient advocates, and health care professionals.

Yale Cancer Center experts will present research on a variety of topics, ranging from post-mastectomy reconstruction to the burden of financial toxicity on single mothers in ongoing treatment for metastatic breast cancer, and epigenetic drivers of breast cancers that metastasize to the brain. Presentations include:
