The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition is excited to share that the 23rd Annual Breast Cancer Update will be held on Wednesday, February 10th, 2021. As a direct result of the pandemic, the Breast Cancer Update will be delivered virtually, utilizing Zoom technology. This year’s event is titled: “Breast Cancer Research Where we are... Where we are going”. The Breast Cancer Update will again be offered as an educational conference free to the public, but registration is required in advance to access the conference. The event will be featuring leading medical breast cancer panel experts and informational resources, offering the latest developments in treatment and care to breast cancer survivors and their families, physicians, nurses, students, and allied health professionals. Certificates of attendance documenting 4 Contact Hours and 4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available to nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals.   

The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition’s (DBCC) Annual Breast Cancer Update began as a small scientific meeting to update physicians about the latest trends in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The educational conference, focused on the latest trends in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, has grown to an annual conference of more than 430 attendees. It is our goal to have programming that empowers our community in the fight against breast cancer. The Annual Breast Cancer Update allows us the opportunity to bring nationally renowned speakers in the breast cancer field to educate the community about the innovative research, treatment, and programs that are available in Delaware. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer in Delaware and the surrounding region.
