Lunden, a national health and wellness advocate, publicly announced her
battle with triple-negative breast cancer in September and has been
documenting her treatment on her video blog on JoanLunden.com.
At this year’s conference Lunden will share the emotional side of her
journey and her highly personal perspective on optimal patient care.
As host of Good Morning America for nearly 2 decades, Lunden
brought insight to top issues for millions of Americans each day. The
longest running host ever on early morning television, Lunden reported
from 26 countries, covered 4 presidents and 5 Olympics, and kept
Americans up-to-date on how to care for their health, their families,
and their homes.
Lunden’s address on Saturday, February 28, is part of a 4-day
CME-certified conference on breast cancer that will attract 1,000 of the
world’s top minds in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. The
conference is sponsored by PER®, the go-to source for
excellence in continuing medical education.
“The Miami Breast Cancer Conference has brought together the leading
national and international breast cancer physicians for over 31 years,
covering all aspects of patient care,” said Phil Talamo, vice president
of independent medical education and operations at PER®. “Our
overall goal is to drive the best care for breast cancer patients, and
we are delighted to have Joan Lunden share her story and perspective, as
it will truly enrich the personal aspect of our mission to help
patients.”
The conference brings together leading oncologists in multiple
disciplines with the aim of fostering awareness of state-of-the-art
treatments in each therapeutic area and encouraging cross-team clinical
cooperation. Attendees will benefit from opportunities to interact with
pioneers of innovative approaches in each of these subspecialties, and
to gain insight into the optimal multidisciplinary management of
patients with breast cancer.
This CME-certified activity is directed at medical, surgical, and
radiation oncologists interested in the treatment of patients with
breast cancer. Fellows, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician
assistants, pharmacists, researchers, and other health care
professionals interested in the treatment of breast cancer are also
invited to attend.
