In the same manner, the inhabitants of a country should desire to see in good status the inhabitants of the neighbor country. Having this in mind, we have decided to initiate such a collaboration between physicians of the two neighbor countries, Greece & Turkey in a very delicate subject such is Senology (Mastology). Breast, symbol of maternity, fertility, poetry and sex, has gained the attention of Medical Community since some decades now, in a special way, in order to promote specific attention for it. So, the specialization on Senology field in our days became a must. The Congress is organized in order in the one hand, to collect and present the latest achievements on Senology so as to inspire and inform especially young scientists and on the other hand to exchange scientific thoughts, puzzles and dilemmas between the physicians of the two neighbor countries. Among the invited speakers, the well known Dr. Laszlo Tabar is going to perform a series of teaching courses on the imaging of Breast Diseases; these Courses are going to be extremely helpful to those dealing with breast imaging. The scientific programme is also going to include other interesting topics such as: Health related quality of life, the impact of breast cancer on sexuality, body image, learn to live with breast cancer – survivorship, target therapies for breast cancer, news from main breast cancer congresses, hereditary breast cancer, infertility and breast cancer risk, epidemiology breast cancer registry, breast cancer surgery. less is more?, prognostic factors, plastic surgery, medical oncology, complementary treatment in breast cancer, pregnancy and breast cancer, financial problems in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment inside economical crisis era, the role of environment, nutrition and cosmetics in breast cancer development, breast cancer and mass media. Do they say the truth? What should a good journalist to do?, generics: where is the truth?, ultrasound anatomy, technical and scanning pitfalls. Apart from the interesting scientific programme of the Congress, a special social event is organized by the Greek Organizing Committee aiming to give the participants the chance to be acquainted with the Greek spirit.
