Whether an individual diagnosed with breast cancer is considering surgery, reconstruction, or revision, this session is designed to offer clarity and confidence in navigating all potential options. Dr. Farkas and Dr. Vega will discuss advances in breast cancer surgery and reconstruction techniques, explain when and why revision surgeries may be necessary, and help determine the best surgical approach for each individual’s needs.

As a breast surgeon, Dr. Farkas has extensive expertise spanning all forms of mastectomy, including skin- and nipple-sparing procedures, hidden scar techniques, and both sentinel and axillary lymph node dissections. As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Vega’s contributions to microsurgical techniques have significantly advanced breast reconstruction practices. Their knowledge and mastery are highly valued by the Coalition and its survivor community.

The Coalition believes it is essential to offer digestible, relevant, and up-to-date information on topics that directly impact survivors of breast and gynecologic cancers. The Evening Education Webinar Series is free of charge and is generously supported by the Lee C. Rosenthal Memorial Education Fund.
