“Breast cancer is a serious issue and the most common cause of cancer, statistics show that one in 11 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 75. This conference is an opportunity for Breast Care Nurses and guests to meet, share knowledge, network and enjoy some social programs” the secretary for the Breast Cancer Interest Group, Alison Szwajcer says.

This year's conference theme "Holistic Cancer Care" covers an interesting and innovative mix of workshops and presentations encompassing current traditional and complementary breast cancer treatments.

The keynote speaker Professor Tish Knobf from Yale University will be talking on survivorship, health promotion and management of physical and psychological symptoms of breast cancer treatment.

Also a well known clinical psychologist and personality Bettina Arndt will present the conference finale "Why women would rather eat chocolate?"
