7.1. Entry requirements

Potential candidates for the training in Breast Medical Oncology must already specialise in either medical oncology or oncology (in some EU countries) or in internal medicine, gynaecology or radiotherapy (in other EU countries). The variation in eligible specialisms arises from the current lack of homogeneity within the European Union in the training of physicians involved in the medical treatment of breast cancer.
