The aim of the Senologic International Society (SIS) – as it is shown in its By - Laws - is to gather the Scientific Societies, Associations and Groups from all over the world that share the common objectives of promoting the knowledge in Biology and Medicine with the purpose of collaboration in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and research of breast diseases. Since 1976, when SIS was founded, it has developed a non-stop activity closely linked to train professionals devoted to these diseases in its benign or malignant presentation.
The Spanish Society of Senology and Breast Disease (SESPM), founded in 1980, has nowadays a membership of nearly one thousand affiliates. It is one of the most active members of SIS and it shares the same objectives. It has a web site and a scientific journal which are its way of expression. Many results from national clinic and basic research are published there. In this sense both Societies develop Training Courses, Symposiums, and Establishment of Consensus for the different specialists that participate in those institutions, and collaborate in different publications about breast health and its pathology.
One of the most significant activities is the performance of Congresses, where the newest information and the last advances in Senology, are presented in a multidisciplinary approach.
SIS (www.sisbreast.org) has performed Congresses in Shangai, Zagreb, Houston, Boston and other important cities of the world, and SESPM (www.sespm.es) in different Spanish cities during the last thirty years. Next Congress will be held in October 20th – 22nd, in Valencia, Spain. It will gather both Societies, offering a big opportunity for acquisition and updating the last scientific advances in Senology. More than one thousand five hundred attendants are expected. The Preliminary Scientific Congress Program is attached for your information.
