TC Forum

Trials Coordination Forum

Our annual Trials Coordination Forum (TC Forum) is a fantastic opportunity for Breast Cancer Trials (BCT) staff and their colleagues from member sites to meet in a relaxed, educational, and informative environment. The 2024 TC Forum will provide an update on developments and changes that have occurred within BCT since we last met, introduce some of the newer trials BCT will be launching in the near future, and recap on some of the interesting and important trial results that have been announced. 

We will have several presenters providing insights into clinical trials research and a panel discussion on topical issues involving the management of clinical trials. Further information including the program, a full list of speakers, and topics that will be discussed will be made available in the upcoming months. This is a fantastic networking and professional development opportunity, and we hope to see you there.
