Breast Cancer: Closing the Divide Between Survivorship and Palliative Care is a free webinar series and innovative offering that brings together patients, civil society, and leading multidisciplinary voices in breast cancer and palliative care from across resource settings.
The series was created through a partnership between the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the International Association for Hospice & Palliative Care, Tómatelo a Pecho, A.C., the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and Institute for Advanced Study of the Americas, the Caribbean Palliative Care Association, the Jamaica Cancer Care & Research Institute, and the Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA), showing the value of international collaboration.
This global conversation emphasizes the importance of quality of life and equitable access to palliative care; pain and symptom relief; and holistic and community-based support for patients and their families, with a focus on advanced breast cancer and long-term survival, and honors Breast Cancer Awareness Month and World Hospice & Palliative Care Day, both recognized worldwide in the month of October.
