Eusoma Workshops

Every year, EUSOMA organises multidisciplinary workshops with the aim of providing quality assurance in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer throughout Europe. EUSOMA invites international experts from different areas of oncology to the workshops. These specialists contribute to the production of referring guidelines, which attempt to harmonise the quality of patient care throughout Europe.

EUSOMA tries to involve as many scientists as possible in its scientific activity because collaboration at an international level represents the best way to reach important results in breast cancer care and research.
