General Conference Overview:
What is RISE UP and why is it important?
RISE UP (Revolutionizing Investigations to StEp Up Prevention) for Breast Cancer is an interdisciplinary breast cancer meeting to be held at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco, CA from April 15-17, 2027. It aims to address the best strategies to reduce breast cancer mortality. It will leverage what we know about breast cancer biology, treatment, and hormonal management to better approach breast cancer prevention.
An important goal of the meeting is to foster inter- and trans- disciplinary approaches and collaborative strategies across the gynecology, oncology and primary care fields focused on reducing breast cancer incidence. We are also examining innovative therapeutic approaches for women with operable breast cancer. The new collaborations born at RISE UP aim to be paradigm-shifting, and it is an innovative, bold, and unique initiative that represents a forum that does not currently exist.
Excitingly, at the beginning of the meeting, there will be an innovative “Ideas to Implementation” session which will be held at the end of the meeting. Awards will be given. This session aims to inspire and engage the innovator, investor, researcher, pharmaceutical, and patient advocate communities to spur idea generation and investment in re-imagining how we can best integrate breast cancer risk reduction and prevention into health care products used during a woman’s life course.Where will RISE UP be held? RISE UP will be held from April 15-27, 2027, at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco.
