Breast Cancer Symposium 2023

 Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers will share their findings and expertise at the 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, the most influential gathering of breast cancer researchers and physicians in the world.

The symposium, taking place Dec. 5-9 in San Antonio, brings together researchers and physicians from more than 90 countries.

Research from the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is part of one general session and several poster sessions.

Cancer center highlights include:

• Kathy Miller, MD, also with the Vera Bradley Foundation Center for Breast Cancer Research at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, is among the authors of “Magnetic Resonance Imaging and a 12-Gene Expression Assay to Optimize Local Therapy for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: 5-year clinical outcomes of E4112,” which is part of a general session.
  
  
• Harikrishna Nakshatri, PhD, is the lead author of “Deciphering Biological Differences Between Normal Breast Tissues in Men and Women Using Single Cell Sequencing and In Vitro Modeling,” part of a poster session. Using tissue donated to the Komen Tissue Bank at IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, the findings highlight the first model system to study breast cancer in men, starting with breast tissues of healthy men.
