ALLIANCE RESEARCH IN SPOTLIGHT  
2019 SABCS MEETING DECEMBER 10-14

The San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) provides state-of-the-art information on breast cancer research. SABCS is a five-day program attended by a broad international audience of academic and private researchers and physicians from more than 90 countries. Its goal is to achieve a balance of clinical, translational, and basic research, providing a forum for interaction, communication and education for a wide spectrum of researchers, health professionals and those with a special interest in breast cancer. The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology was well represented at the 42nd Annual Meeting December 10-14.
