The 5^th Aarhus Workshop in Breast Surgery will be organized 18-19 May 2016. The workshop is an annual event directed to important issues in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, and at the same time there is focus on nursing care aspects, thereby to contribute to a continued positive development in both medical treatment and nursing.

By inviting leading international experts and Danish specialists as lecturers and teaching staff, we provide the insight on selected topics; the doctors’ programme is in English, while the nursing session is held in Danish.

The Workshop addresses all members of the multi-disciplinary breast team: breast- and plastic surgeons, breast radiologists, breast pathologists, breast oncologists, geneticists, breast nurses and physiotherapists.

The main themes for the 5^th workshop is:

1. Breast cancer in the young patients
2. Breast cancer in the elderly patients
3. Oncoplastic surgical technique

Main themes: The 5th Aarhus Workshop in Breast Surgery 18 and 19 of May 2016

Breast cancer in the young patients

Treatment of breast cancer in the young patients is challenging, as there are a number of factors need to be taken into account in relation to diagnosis and treatment. Young patients often present at later state and have more aggressive disease characteristics. Often there is a family history in these cases, and in some cases the disease presents during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth.

The programme in the workshop will especially focus on very important issues concerning genetics, fertility, and treatment of breast cancer during pregnancy. The spectrum of late morbidity in the young patients is wider than seen in the middle-aged and older patients, and this will be addressed in a separate lecture.

Breast cancer in the elderly patients

In a recent publication from the Danish Breast Cancer Group – DBCG it was shown that the outcome after treatment of breast cancer has gradually improved during the last 15-20 years, but it appears that the elderly patients have had a more modest improvement than the young and middle-aged group. This seems to some extent to be related to comorbidity and undertreatment both concerning loco-regional and systemic treatment. Other factors include later diagnosis because of no screening in the age groups beyond 70 years.

These issues are comprehensively addressed in the program for the workshop, which also includes a lecture on follow-up issues in this group of patients.

Oncoplastic surgical techniques

A live video session with a focus on operative technique is included as a compulsory part of the program for every workshop. This year the procedures will be devoted to oncoplastic breast conserving techniques, and it is the intention to show two procedures, one of which should include reconstruction with an external flap.
