The 2026 CACA Cancer Prevention and Screening Conference recently opened in Hangzhou, bringing together leading oncologists, researchers, and industry experts from across China to discuss advances in cancer prevention, early detection, multidisciplinary collaboration, and translational research. Hosted by the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association (CACA) and its Cancer Prevention and Screening Committee, the meeting aligns with the goals of the Healthy China 2030 initiative by promoting earlier intervention throughout the cancer care continuum.

The Samsung Club National Young Breast Cancer Experts Conference recently concluded in Zhengzhou, bringing together emerging leaders from China's four major breast cancer academic organizations to discuss precision oncology, talent development, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

"White clouds drift above the Chilechuan Plain, while the songs of Qingcheng echo like poetry." Against this vibrant midsummer backdrop, the 2026 Chinese Clinical Oncology Annual Advances Conference (BOC) & Best of CSCO 2026 China will be held in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, from July 3–4, 2026.

As survival continues to improve for patients with breast cancer, postoperative quality of life (QoL) has become an increasingly important factor in surgical decision-making. Breast reconstruction is an integral component of comprehensive breast cancer care, and the choice of reconstructive technique has a profound impact on long-term functional recovery and psychosocial well-being.

At the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, the SENOMAC trial presented its final 5-year overall survival (OS) results together with patient-reported arm morbidity outcomes. The findings further confirmed that, among patients with one or two sentinel lymph nodes containing macrometastases, omission of completion axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is not only oncologically non-inferior but also significantly improves upper-limb function and lymphedema-related quality of life.

In the era of chemotherapy alone, patients with high-risk early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)—particularly those with node-positive disease or more advanced tumors—continued to face a substantial risk of recurrence after surgery, making cure an ambitious goal for many. Over the past few years, however, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have rapidly moved from the metastatic setting into early-stage treatment, bringing new hope for long-term survival and potential cure.

Perioperative chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of treatment for patients with high-risk HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer. Among the commonly used regimens, dose-dense anthracycline-taxane chemotherapy has long been considered a standard option. However, important clinical questions remain regarding the optimal timing of chemotherapy, patient selection, regimen composition, and treatment intensity.

Neoadjuvant therapy has created new opportunities for breast-conserving surgery and axillary preservation in patients with breast cancer. However, accurately defining the extent of surgery after neoadjuvant treatment and determining the optimal management of axillary lymph nodes remain among the most important and challenging issues in contemporary breast cancer care.

The 2026 Lingnan Breast Cancer Forum was recently held in Guangzhou, bringing together breast cancer specialists from across China to discuss the latest advances in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Centered on the concept of whole-course breast cancer management, the meeting integrated the year's most important international breakthroughs with a comprehensive scientific program covering early detection, precision diagnosis, individualized treatment, innovative therapies, and postoperative rehabilitation.
