Call for Abstracts

We invite abstracts of proffered papers on the experimental biology, etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of breast cancer and premalignant breast disease.

Abstracts of superior quality will be selected by the Symposium Abstract Review Committee for presentation at the 31^st Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium and published in the symposium's abstract book . They will be available for viewing online at the SABCS website, along with slide presentations and posters.

The scientific program consists of invited lectures and mini-symposia by experts in clinical and basic research, selected slide and poster presentations chosen from the submitted abstracts, and case discussions. General sessions are 2-3 hours in duration and are the vehicle for slide presentations, which are allotted 10 minutes each followed by 5 minutes of discussion. Poster sessions are each 2 hours long. Specific instructions for the preparation of slides and posters along with a draft copy of the program will be mailed to the Presenter. They will also be available for viewing online at the SABCS website.

Complete instructions will be in the 2007 Call for Abstracts booklet which will be available at the end of March.

Please make sure you read "Abstract Presenter Responsibilities" and "Abstract Preparation" before your submission.

Abstract Deadline

Abstracts are due online by 11:59 PM CDT on June 16, 2008.
