The 3rd Breast–Gynecological International Cancer Conference, supported by the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), was held in Cairo (Egypt) on 13–14 January 2011. The meeting was conducted under the patronage of Egypt’s Ministry of Health, with the scientific committee led by Heba El Zawahry from the National Cancer Institute (Cairo, Egypt), and Yasser Abdel Kader from Cairo University (Cairo, Egypt).
