Conferences

• Multidisciplinary breast conference. Each week, breast specialists in multiple fields meet to discuss cases to determine individualized patient care plans. Attendees include radiologists, surgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, breast medicine physicians, geneticists, nurses, and physician assistants.
• Breast radiology-pathology conference. Each week, the breast radiologists meet with our breast pathologists to discuss imaging and pathology of biopsies performed the previous week. This facilitates real-time group decision making for concordance and imaging management plans.
