The Benelux Breast Cancer Exchange is a highly interactive, case-based scientific meeting designed for breast cancer specialists from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
Despite major advances in breast cancer research, real-world clinical practice across the BeNeLux can vary between countries, centers and even individual teams—driven by differences in access to innovations, interpretation of rapidly evolving evidence, and local pathways for example in diagnostics, sequencing and toxicity management.
This meeting aims to bring experts together in an open and collaborative setting to exchange insights, challenge perspectives, and learn from real-world clinical experience.
