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 for presentation at the 2013 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium and published in January 2014 as a special online citable supplement to the AACR journal Cancer Research. They will be available for viewing online during the Symposium at the SABCS website, along with slide presentations and posters.

The scientific program consists of plenary lectures and mini-symposia by experts in clinical and basic research; selected slide and poster presentations chosen from the submitted abstracts; educational sessions, award lectures, panel and case discussions and forums. General sessions are approximately 2 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 1 1/2 to 2 hours long.  Specific instructions for the preparation of slides and posters along with a draft copy of the program will be mailed to each presenter. They will also be available for viewing online at the SABCS website.

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

Abstracts are due online by 11:59 PM CDT on June 11, 2013.

Please notify the Symposium office as early as possible if your presentation will not be made, and reference your assigned program number.  If a scheduled presenter fails to appear in person or to send a replacement, and does not cancel the poster or slide presentation before the meeting, that presenter will be barred from having an abstract accepted in the SABCS for three years.  Notification must be sent in written form via e-mail (sabcs@uthscsa.edu) or fax (210-450-1560).
