Summary

The San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2016 featured all areas in the treatment of breast cancer. However, the meeting again showed that surgery remains the major column in the treatment of breast cancer. Various areas of development in the surgical management of breast cancer received significant attention in 2016 – sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy after breast reconstruction and imaging strategies for the surgical treatment of breast cancer. In this short overview the most interesting presentations from the meeting are presented.
