International Breast Cancer Congress 2012




The Convenors of the Sydney International Breast Cancer Congress 2012 (SIBCC), formerly known as the 'Leura Conference', are proud to announce that their 7th Congress will be held in October 2012. The Congress will be held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month from
Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 October 2012 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre and will once again be hosted by the Westmead Breast Cancer Institute.
The SIBCC will bring together Australian health professionals and international registrants, for an innovative, multidisciplinary conference. We are also bringing together Australia's leading medical, nursing and breast cancer groups, including BreastSurg ANZ, the Australasian Society for Breast Disease, the Australian New Zealand Breast Cancer Trials Group, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Cancer Australia, the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia and the McGrath Foundation.
The SIBCC has also successfully attracted the 8th International Cancer Screening Network (ICSN), a conference held since 1997 and coordinated by the US National Cancer Institute. Day two of the conference will be planned with the ICSN and is to include the issues of epidemiology, screening and the world burden of breast disease. We are also very excited to announce that Breast Cancer Network Australia will be holding a concurrent consumer conference on the last two days of the congress, with one combined plenary session on Friday afternoon, the 26th October.
The SIBCC organising committee are currently developing what is set to be an impressive program, with a theme of 'Translating new research and technology into multidisciplinary, patient-centred care'. Plenary sessions on screening and epidemiology, genetics, DCIS, invasive disease (localised and metastatic), personalised medicine, targeted therapy psychosocial and supportive care are being planned. Workshops (radiography, breast care nursing, pathology etc.) will focus on specific discipline knowledge.
A highly regarded, internationally renowned faculty and Australian keynote speakers will share their knowledge and invite audience participation. We look forward to welcoming you to the Sydney International Breast Cancer Congress in October 2012.

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Monumental cleavage alert! Did Natalie Portman get a boob job?

Black Swan Oscar winner Natalie Portman has sparked feverish debate about whether or not she's had a boob job, after she appeared on camera at an American football game looking bustier than before. The 31-year-old, who gave birth to son Aleph in June 2011, was watching the game in Austin, Texas during a break from shooting the as-yet-untitled new Terrence Malick film. With co-star Michael Fassbender by her side, a newly blonde Natalie was spotted by the cameras during the ABC broadcast. While it could very well be a push-up bra, or a consequence of breast-feeding her bub, Twitter fans immediately speculated about the star's potentially enhanced assets. "Natalie Portman @ the Texas-Baylor game ... boob job? Looks like it!" one user wrote. "Wait a second, did Natalie Portman get a boob job? Is she pregnant?
