Dear Colleages

It gives us a great pleasure to invite you to attend the first Joint Meeting of the Senologic Societies of Austria and Slovenia. By the time the event takes place, we expect that all formalities at the border between our two countries will finally have been dispensed with.

We are living in a time of rapid development in the sciences, and the specific field of breast cancer is no exception. New knowledge of the mechanisms of development of the disease are constantly being discovered, as are new methods of diagnosis and treatment. Progress in oncology is immense, and there is no question that a multidisciplinary approach is necessary in the treatment of such patients.

We hope this meeting will be an opportunity for specialists working in this specific field of medicine to join ranks, and that it will bring colleagues from the two neighbouring countries closer, regardless of whether they come from large oncology centres or small practices, and whether they are dealing with research or clinical work.

We cordially invite you to join us and share with us your knowledge and your experience.
