Cancer Treatment and Therapeutic Developments

Additional sessions may explore neoadjuvant and adjuvant strategies, dose-dense schedules, and deliberate de-escalation where outcomes allow. Presentations will examine radiation techniques such as intensity-modulated and image-guided approaches, brachytherapy, and proton therapy, together with oncoplastic and reconstructive surgery. Researchers will discuss prehabilitation, enhanced recovery pathways, and the management of cardiotoxicity, neuropathy, mucositis, and fatigue. Geriatric assessment, treatment tolerance in older women, drug interactions, and adherence support will also be considered. Real-world registries, biosimilars, and access to affordable medicines may feature in discussions of value-based care. Attention will be given to shared decision-making, second opinions, multidisciplinary review, and the management of recurrence. Long-term surveillance and the transition from active treatment to follow-up will complete the picture.
