We would like to inform that the Organizing Committee of the Brazilian Breast Cancer Symposium 2021 has been closely monitoring the national bulletins and the actions carried out by the State Government of Goiás to fight COVID-19. Unfortunately, we cannot predict the outcome of such large spread of the virus and the uncertainty of a new wave arising. And right now, the only thing we can do is to ensure the well-being and safety of our participants.

We know that now we have the duty and responsibility to help the community as a whole to face and protect themselves from this epidemic. Therefore, we would like to announce that the BBCS 2021 will be held in an online format, for the first time after 10 editions.

We thank our sponsors, supporters and suppliers for your understanding during this disturbing and stressful situation and especially for thinking about our safety. We hope that this public health issue can be settled quickly, so that we can meet face-to-face in 2022 for the “largest breast cancer research event in the country”!

We would like to thank you for your understanding on behalf of the Brazilian Breast Cancer Symposium.

Best regards,
