Welcome from the Chairs

Welcome to the fourth biannual Vienna Breast Surgery Day scheduled for the 19th and 20th March 2019 with the main topic Oncoplastic surgery from eminence to evidence.

The idea of the Vienna Breast Surgery Day (VBSD) is to discuss issues in surgical oncology and reconstruction evidence based together with all important disciplins involved in breast cancer treatment. Therefore this meeting is always scheduled one day before the St Gallen Breast Cancer Conference in Vienna.

Due to the complex treatment plans for individual patients, it is more and more essential that medical experts from oncologist to reconstructive surgeon have the opportunity to discuss their issues and interfaces.

We are proud of the international expert faculty. This year we focus on all kinds of oncoplastic surgery and lymph node surgery especially in relation to neoadjuvant treatment which gains ground as important therapy. More over on the 20th March there will be the oportunity for hands on cadaver surgery at the Institute for Anatomy - further information will follow.
