Laura Esserman: An important new interdisciplinary meeting, RISE UP for Breast Cancer

Laura Esserman, Principal Investigator at The WISDOM Study, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“I am excited to announce an important new interdisciplinary meeting, RISE UP for Breast Cancer, which I am co-organizing with several leaders across the oncologic, gynecologic, investment, scientific, biotech, policy, and advocacy spaces. Visit our website to learn more.

RISE UP (Revolutionizing Investigations to link Screening to Experimental therapeutics to Upend Prognosis) will bring together women’s health practitioners, scientists, advocates and more across women’s health specialties and leverage what we know about breast cancer biology, treatment, and hormonal management to better approach breast cancer prevention. One goal is to explore new ways to manage cycle control, birth control, postpartum weaning, IVF, and post-menopausal symptom management so that these interventions will reduce the risk and incidence of breast cancer.

The conference will culminate in a competition to determine the best ideas and prizes will be given. It is our hope that this meeting will spark new and exciting ways to take knowledge about breast cancer and marry what we know about hormonal management in women and platform trial design to catalyze advancements in the breast cancer prevention field.

If you are involved in women’s health or breast cancer, you won’t want to miss this exciting event!”
