The Breast Group aims to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of scientific material related to all aspects of breast cancer. The membership of the Breast Group includes epidemiologists, tumor biologists, biostatisticians, oncology nurses, pathologists, radiologists and clinicians concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
We share significant common ground with many of the other sub groups in COSA and the COSA Annual Scientific Meeting provides an excellent opportunity for cross-fertilisation of ideas and education. The Group works cooperatively with various other breast cancer groups and organisations outside of COSA when opportunities arise, to develop scientific meetings of excellent educational content and broad appeal.
The group shares common interest and common membership with other breast cancer interest groups in Australia and New Zealand. Cooperation in scheduling and content of meetings for these groups is undertaken. These groups include:
Australia New Zealand Breast Cancer Trials Group (ANZ BCTG)
Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Section of Breast Surgery
Australasian Society for Breast Disease (ASBD)
NSW Breast Cancer Institute (NSW BCI)
Kathleen Cuningham Foundation Consortium (kConFab)
National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre (NBOCC)
Membership of the Breast Group is open to anyone with an interest in malignancies of the breast.
Chair: Dr Andrew Spillane
