The San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) is an annual event cosponsored by the AACR and UT Health San Antonio’s Mays Cancer Center. Now in its 46^th year, the meeting hosts about 10,000 clinicians and scientists from all over the world and is the largest and most prestigious scientific gathering on breast cancer research.

This international scientific symposium allows for the important interactions and exchanges between basic scientists and clinicians devoted to improved diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. We are committed to meet the needs of breast cancer patients through high-quality and equal access to care to include prevention, early detection, and treatment. The Mays Cancer Center agrees with the AACR’s position strongly affirming its support for equitable access to quality health care services for all patients. We remain a champion of evidence-based health care, diversity, equity, inclusion and acceptance as core values which are deeply ingrained in our life’s work and mission.
