The Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) at UCSF is presenting a live panel discussion in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, titled "Optimizing the Treatment of Breast Cancer to Empower Patients".

This information helps experts make informed decisions on which treatments to administer and empowers patients to educate themselves better. The panel discussion will portray the aim to advance patient management through personalized medicine by highlighting MammaPrint, (a genomic test used to analyze the activity of certain genes in early-stage breast cancer) its origins and one of its many success stories.
