Breast Cancer Trials (BCT) is a world-leading clinical trials research organisation, dedicated to finding new and better treatments and prevention strategies for people affected by this disease. Our research program involves multicentre national and international clinical trials and brings together more than 1,068 researchers across 119 institutions throughout Australia and New Zealand.
This is the official website for our 2027 Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM), and this year is the 48th year of the conference, which will be held in Perth, Western Australia. Our ASM hosts a number of internationally renowned guest speakers including key BCT researchers. Delegates include leading Australian and New Zealand medical practitioners, clinicians, and clinical trials management personnel.
The full and extensive program will include three days of scientific sessions covering timely reviews of breast cancer clinical trials, discussion of new protocols, future clinical trials research, and other research developments. The program will also include abstract presentations, both poster and oral, and is followed by a Trainee and Early Career Day.
The BCT ASM is not open to the general public to attend.
