Global Breast Cancer Seminar Series

Addressing a Critical Global Need

Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. While it is often curable in high-income countries, it remains largely fatal in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). 

This disparity is not inevitable—it is reversible through education, training, and access to emerging therapies.

With rapid advancements in breast cancer treatment and growing availability of cancer therapies across the globe, physicians in LMICs are increasingly seeking opportunities to learn about the latest evidence-based approaches. 

To deliver the best possible care, these providers need continuing medical education tailored to their practice environments.

Our Response

The University of Minnesota Global Breast Cancer Seminar Series was created to meet this need. Our monthly seminars provide:

• Multidisciplinary education grounded in the latest research and clinical practice.

• Practical insights on incorporating new treatments into patient care.

• A collaborative community of physicians committed to advancing breast cancer care in LMICs.

Together, we aim to equip physicians with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to improve outcomes for women with breast cancer worldwide.
