On behalf of the SABCS Executive and Program Planning Committees, welcome to the 2022 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium and what promises to be an important and informative week of interaction, communication, and education. Over the course of the week, you will have the opportunity to hear about new and late-breaking research in breast cancer and pre-malignant breast disease and network with researchers, academics, practitioners, patients, and patient advocates from around the world.

“We are very excited for this year’s SABCS. The scientific program is filled with practice-changing clinical trials, and the translational research presented this year has the potential to lead to innovative clinical trials that will shape future therapies,” said SABCS Co-Director Virginia G. Kaklamani, MD. “We hope you enjoy the program and thank you for coming to San Antonio!”

The program kicks off Tuesday morning at 8:00 am CT with this year’s Clinical Research Workshop (Stars at Night Ballroom 1&2) and Basic Science Workshop (Stars at Night Ballroom 3&4), setting the stage for some of the most important clinical and basic science research findings that will be presented and discussed over the course of the meeting.
