One week out
The New Era of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Care
Wednesday, September 16 • Houston, Texas

One week to go. If you work with breast cancer survivors, this is a full afternoon and evening with the surgeons and therapists who are actively reshaping how this condition is treated. Breast cancer-related lymphedema care is changing quickly as research, surgical technique, compression therapy and multidisciplinary collaboration reshape practice. This program follows the patient journey from diagnosis through long-term management, and closes with an interdisciplinary case conference bringing physician and therapist perspectives together. |

Levy Conference Room, TMC3
7255 Helix Park Avenue, Houston, Texas 77030
