Events

Join Stanford Medicine faculty for a discussion of updates in breast and gynecologic cancer management. Learn about techniques for managing triple-negative and hereditary breast cancer, the use of sentinel node biopsy in staging breast cancer, progress toward a cure for ovarian cancer, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for metastatic gynecologic cancers. Come away with a deeper understanding of advances in diagnosis and treatment to help your patients achieve their best outcomes.

A recording of this virtual event is available. The program is not available for CME credit.
