Thank you for your interest in the Breast Cancer Summit.
New York Plastic Surgical Group is happy to produce and host this free educational forum.

In New York, we have broad access to breast cancer treatment and surgical care. In many low- and middle-income countries such as Vietnam, breast cancer often goes undiagnosed until late stages. If it is discovered, there are only a few surgeons (if any) trained to perform breast cancer reconstruction. As a result, breast reconstruction is a distant concept, even to many local physicians or oncologists.

In Vietnam, there is a negative stigma around breast cancer. Breast cancer is a private matter, rarely discussed openly in communities and cultures. This is a stark comparison to our breast cancer community and what the annual Breast Cancer Summit represents.

ReSurge’s breast cancer care program in Vietnam is the first of its kind in the region, elevating Vietnam’s capacity to provide care and treatment for breast cancer locally. Their mission is twofold: to provide critical care to breast cancer survivors who can’t afford or access the surgery and to train a new generation of local surgeons.

New York Plastic Surgical Group established a fund at ReSurge International to honor the late Dr. Vincent DiGregorio and sustain his commitment to providing medical care and surgical training to populations in need.

If you are attending our summit, please consider making a donation to support breast reconstruction on a global level.
