WEBINARS
Faculty: Monica Morrow, MD, Tari King, MD and Kimberly Van Zee, MD
Controversy exists regarding the optimal margin width in breast-conserving surgery for invasive breast cancer. In 2014 SSO and ASTRO published a Consensus Guideline Margins for Breast-Conserving Surgery with Whole Breast Irradiation in Stage I and II Invasive Breast Cancer. This webinar will help surgeons to understand how the implementation of the recommendations within the Consensus Guideline Margins for Breast-Conserving Surgery with Whole Breast Irradiation in Stage I and II Invasive Breast Cancer may affect their practice and patient care.

GLOBAL CANCER SURGERY
In September 2015, The Lancet Oncology Commission published “Global Cancer Surgery: Delivering Safe, Affordable and Timely Cancer Surgery,” a review of the inequities in global cancer care. As a follow-up to the first report, Chandrakanth Are, MD, surgical oncologist and global advocate on elevating standards for international surgical cancer care, has been appointed by the Lancet Oncology Commission to lead the development of The Lancet Oncology Commission on Global Cancer Surgery- Part II Report. Through his leadership as the Chair of the Society of Surgical Oncology’s (SSO) International Committee and Director of the Global Forum of Cancer Surgeons (GFCS), he is well-equipped to take on the issues that vary dramatically from country to country.
