Mays Cancer Center at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio), in partnership with the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), is hosting the 47th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center on Dec. 10-13.
Owned and initiated by Mays Cancer Center, the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium is the world’s largest breast cancer research conference. More than 11,000 clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates from more than 102 countries are expected to convene in downtown San Antonio. A National Cancer Institute (NCI)- designated Cancer Center, the Mays Cancer Center launched the symposium in 1977 as a one-day regional conference. After more than four decades, the scientific and education symposium has grown to international prominence.

This symposium brings together experts from around the world to share knowledge, learn about new and emerging therapies, collaborate with peers and inspire the next generation of investigators dedicated to breast cancer research.”
