CURE Media Group, which reaches over 1 million patients, survivors and caregivers across an industry-leading multichannel platform devoted solely to cancer updates, research and education, will host a patient-track meeting on Saturday, March 9, at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach in Florida during the Physicians’ Education Resource Miami Breast Cancer Conference. “We are excited to host a patient-focused track for the first time at this year’s Miami Breast Cancer Conference,” said Michael J. Hennessy Jr., president of MJH Associates Inc., parent company of CURE magazine. “This track gives patients the opportunity to network and educate themselves on important topics surrounding treatment, BRCA and clinical trials.”

The keynote speaker for the meeting will be Patrick Borgen, M.D., chair of the department of surgery at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. The meeting will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Following an optional yoga session, attendees will be provided with breakfast and lunch between the many sessions and expert panels directed toward patients with breast cancer. Topics will include managing side effects of treatment, survivorship care planning, genetic counseling and psychosocial, behavioral and communication issues in breast cancer care. CURE’s full-day, patient-focused event is hosted in tandem with the Miami Breast Cancer Conference. For 36 years, the Miami Breast Cancer Conference has brought together surgical, medical and radiation oncologists, as well as geneticists, pathologists, radiologists and supportive-care specialists, to foster attendees’ awareness of state-of-the-art treatments for all stages and subtypes of breast cancer. – Medical Buyer Bureau
