What you will learn
Our goal with the SoCal Women’s Cancer Conference is simple, but bold: to create an inspiring event, which will provide quality education and hands on workshops that will motivate our female survivors to implement real and tangible life changing skills beyond diagnosis and treatment.
This one-day conference is a one-of-a-kind event in Southern California that focuses on what it means to be a woman and a cancer survivor. This event promises to offer a memorable and incredible experience for all of our participants throughout all of Southern California.

Afternoon Keynote & Closing
The Molecular Diagnosis & Targeted Therapy (Part 1)
Dr. Link will discuss breast cancer treatment progress over the last 50 years. The survival rate of breast cancer increased from 50% to almost 90% during this period. In the beginning there was a single treatment - a radical mastectomy. Beginning in the 1970s mammographic screening was initiated and proved that early diagnosis led to increased cure. The randomized clinical trial was developed to test "new agents" to eradicate the systemic spread of the cancer. In 2000 the Humane Genome Project was completed and changed everything. We went from the "jungle floor" to the human genome. Dr. Link will take us through this exciting journey and focus on the latest technologies and advancements that could lead to a cure for certain types of cancer.

Self-Image & Intimacy
The effects of cancer go far beyond medical recovery from surgery and harsh treatments. When patients and providers are focused on curing cancer it's easy to lose sight of some of the other important aspects of the healing process. Many women suffer from intimacy and body image damage after cancer but don't know how to address it or who to talk to. In this session we will open up our minds and tackle those hard to ask questions.
Monique Tiffany, RN, CBCN, CBPN-ICLatinas Prosperando por Encima del Cancer
The topic will be addressing the importance of optimal eating and lifestyle choices highlighting the risk factors, prevention and treatment of cancer for hispanic women.
