Information
The first Danish Workshop in Breast Surgery (DWBS) will be held on the
21st – 22nd of May 2026 at Herlev Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The workshop is born out of the annual Aarhus Workshop in Breast Surgery (AWBS) held in Aarhus since 2012. The event is directed to important issues in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer with focus on surgical treatment and nursing care aspects, thereby to contribute to a continued positive development in surgical treatment and nursing.
By inviting leading international experts and Danish specialists as lecturers and teaching staff, including video sessions and case discussions, we provide the insight on selected topics; the doctors’ program is in English, while the nurse program is held in Danish.
The Workshop addresses all members of the multi-disciplinary breast team: breast- and plastic surgeons, breast radiologists, breast pathologists, breast oncologists, geneticists, breast nurses and physiotherapists.
The first Danish Workshop in Breast Surgery 2026 has focus on lymphoedema, patient
driven follow-up, margin status and de-escalation of axillary surgery, as well as a video
session on robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy.
The program for nurses this year will focus on postoperative information and care and
younger patients with breast cancer.
A Conference dinner will be held on Thursday night.
