The Power of Social Movements: Lessons for Staying Relevant and Focused
After 25 years of incredible advocacy, the breast cancer movement has made its mark on the world. But we have not reached our goal, so now more than ever the breast cancer movement needs staying power. What makes some social movements endure, while others do not? Can social movements lift each other up instead of competing for resources? What creates that tipping point, when a nation embraces the goals of the movement? Leaders and scholars of social movements will share their insights and strategize how the breast cancer advocacy movement can accelerate toward our goal.
Speakers: Elisabeth Griffin, Author and Historian; Byllye Avery, Activist and Founder of Black Women's Health Imperative; Jeff Levi, Professor of Health Management & Policy George Washington University

Our ultimate goal is to prevent breast cancer development altogether, to avoid not only the mortality from the disease, but also the mortality and morbidity from treatments for the disease. 25 years has brought us a much deeper understanding of hormone exposures, immunology, genomics, the molecular basis of tumor genesis – but in totality, what does it all mean?

Plenary: After 25 years, what do we really know about preventing metastasis?
Ninety percent of people who die from breast cancer die from metastatic disease. How and why do breast cancer cells emerge from the breast, enter the bloodstream, and migrate to a distant site? After 25 years of research what do we really know? What are the triggers that cause a primary breast cell to become metastatic? Most importantly, what do we know about this process and the immune system that will enable us to prevent metastasis?
Speakers: Frank J. Calzone,PhD, Vice President of Discovery Research for REMD Biotherapeutics. He is also a member of the UCLA Translational Oncology Research Laboratory (TORL); Cyrus Ghajar, PhD, Laboratory for the Study of Metastatic Microenvironments (LSM2) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; Xiang (Shawn) Zhang, PhD, Assistant Professor at the McNair Medical Institute, Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center and in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Baylor College of Medicine; Pat Steeg, Deputy Chief, Women’s Malignancies Branch, National Cancer Institute
