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.
