City of Hope Breast Cancer Forum

The City of Hope® Breast Cancer Forum is a virtual forum that provides patients, caregivers and the community an opportunity to learn more about breast health, including breast cancer screening and treatment options, as well as the latest innovations in breast cancer research. This online forum, which takes place every few months, is free and open to all.

The Breast Cancer Forum is moderated by Hope S. Rugo, M.D., a world-renowned cancer expert and the director of City of Hope’s Los Angeles Women's Cancers Program. A visionary leader in breast cancer care, Dr. Rugo has been involved with many clinical trials and research projects that have led to new treatment approaches for breast cancer that are less toxic, improve quality of life and offer better treatment outcomes.
