A
Multidisciplinary Medical Society
In
1972, a group of surgeons began meeting at regular intervals to
discuss issues and concerns regarding the treatment of breast
cancer. They came from many institutions and frequently differed
in their points of view, but shared a common interest in promoting
and improving the quality of breast cancer care.
The
New York Metropolitan Breast Cancer Group was incorporated as a
multidisciplinary society in 1972. Members are from hospitals and
medical schools in the tri-state area. In 1976 there were 54
members and today there are more than 250. Membership is well
represented by surgical oncology, radiation oncology, medical
oncology, radiology, pathology, oncology nursing and psychology.
There
are quarterly scientific meetings and an annual full day
educational symposium featuring important current research
developments. The NYMBCG, Inc. provides a forum for discussion,
exchange of ideas and fraternization for its members. Annual dues
are collected and include all quarterly meetings and the full day
symposium.
