The European School of Oncology’s Basics in Breast Cancer Surgery course is a hybrid educational event consisting of pre-recorded online lectures available from 27 July 2026 and a hands-on, practical training session taking place on either 9 or 10 October 2026 at Imperial College London, UK.

Chaired by Riccardo A. Audisio (IT), the program offers an exhaustive insight into modern breast surgery, focusing equally on cancer control, cosmetic outcomes, and disease biology.

The curriculum outlines technical details for thirteen distinct surgical procedures, including sentinel node biopsies, axillary dissection, and the removal of non-palpable lesions. Utilizing custom-made mannequin models paired with personal mentor guidance, this limited-enrolment course provides young surgical oncologists with the evidence-based strategies and hands-on skills required to optimize modern clinical practice.
