Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of Hong Kong College of Radiologists, may I welcome you all to our
half-day Breast Cancer Symposium to be held on 8 March 2008 (Saturday), at

This Breast Cancer Symposium of the Year covers important aspects of the
role of imaging in the multidisciplinary management for breast cancer
patients. Please visit the HKCR website (http://www.hkcr.org) for the very
exciting scientific programme with a faculty of local speakers who are renowned
in the field of breast cancer management. The topics are well-selected, aiming to
be practical, comprehensive with deliberation of the state-of-the-art technology
and approach. As technology, experience and knowledge are moving forwards
at very fast pace, it is important for healthcare workers to constantly update
