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