The SGBCC Academy

The SGBCC Academy is an educational initiative dedicated to spotlight presentations on the most important topics in early breast cancer care. St.Gallen International Consensus Panelists succinctly summarize the key findings in their field of expertise in short presentations which will be available as video on demand to all registered delegates from February 2025 onwards.

Additionally to the on-demand content, there’ll be live discussion sessions during the conference during which both onsite and virtual delegates can directly ask their questions and discuss with the experts.
