The highlight of this meeting is to make an international scientific symposium for interaction and exchange among early-career scientists and clinicians in breast cancer.

Over the years since we started this symposium, we succeeded in making this meeting an annual event aiming to encourage medical practitioners in the Middle East to be involved in research activities. One of the missions of this activity is to provide state-of-the-art information on breast cancer research. It covers information on the update on advances in technologies used for research and providing techniques to consider for studies, career development for early-career scientist such as graduate students, postdoctoral or clinical fellows, medical students and residents.

This conference aims to achieve a balance of clinical, translational and basic research. By combining the strengths and knowledge, and providing a forum for interaction, communication and education, we can easily facilitate the rapid transition of new knowledge and improve our care for breast cancer patients.

We continue to strive conveying significant topics to all our audience and reaching out to more number of attendees to strengthen our common objectives and provide best care for our breast cancer patients.

This is the first time that we are holding this event in Jeddah and we are wishing you all a pleasant stay and we wish to see you all again next year.
