Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you to the combined 5th Asian Breast Diseases Association and 4th BreastScreen Singapore Update Conference (ABDA-BSS Update Conference), to be held in Singapore in November 2007.

The Asian Breast Diseases Association (ABDA) is a multidisciplinary medical society, formed in 2002 to improve the detection, diagnosis and management of patients with diseases of the breast. It is the aim of ABDA to bring together distinguished professionals from the Asia-Pacific Region and beyond to share their knowledge and expertise. The annual ABDA conference is hosted by different countries in the region; this year, Singapore is honoured to be the host country. In 2007, the ABDA conference will join forces with the Singapore national breast screening programme, BreastScreen Singapore (BSS), to create a world-class multidisciplinary conference on all aspects of breast cancer.

The theme of this exciting conference is “Controversies in Screening, Diagnosis and Management” and is highly relevant for screening personnel, physicians across the spectrum of breast diagnosis and care, healthcare administrators and policy makers. In addition, the 2nd Asian Breast MRI course will be run as a one-day pre-congress meeting for those interested to learn about the clinical application of breast MRI.

We invite you to join us at the Combined ABDA-BSS Breast Cancer Conference and we look forward to welcoming you to a “Uniquely Singapore” experience, where you will discover a dynamic city rich in culture, arts and cuisine.

See you in Singapore!
