G.Re.T.A. has been invited to contribute to the new BRESO initiative for training and accreditation of breast surgical oncologists across Europe.
In the past Breast surgery was simple and general surgeons were able to perform it easily. Nowadays, as demonstrated in one of our papers on decision making pathways, specialized breast surgeons should have complex and multidisciplinary skills. These may involve: refined techniques of plastic surgery, good knowledge of systemic treatment either in the pre-op or post-op, good ability in reading modern imaging not only for diagnostic purposes but also for surgical planning and, lust but not least excellent interaction with patients for good shared decision making. In spite of this the surgical training is still not dedicated, being part of general surgery or gynaecology training. For this reason, the BRESO initiative set up a basic theoretical and practical cv for European Breast Surgeons as part of a standard international certification process.
The BRESO certification will be developed at two levels: Tier 1 for basic training and Tier 2 for advanced level skills. The training will last at least a minimum of two years either during training or post residency. Prof. Nava, our Honorary Chairman is one of the senior authors of this BRESO “manifesto”, together with Giuseppe Catanuto. Both of them contributed to the development of this project as part of the theoretical and practical working-group bringing the experience of G.Re.T.A. in careers development with courses, International fellowships and Conferences.
You can find here the paper that was recently published on EJSO that provide all the details regarding the BRESO certification process.

Thank you.

Resilience, pandemic and surgical oncology of the breast
There is a psychological property that I have observed in many cancer patients. This is RESILIENCE. Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress such as serious health problems LIKE BREAST CANCER, or the SARS COVID-2 pandemic. Can we learn this ability from our patients and take advantages to improve our practice in this contingency. Here four possible opportunities for the breast surgical oncologist: During this outbreak we experienced a sudden
GReTA in Brazil for the Curitiba Oncoplastic Course COMEET 22-23rd November 2019
Once again, it is a great honor being partners of Prof. Cicero Urban and his team in Curitiba for the Oncoplastic Course. Practical skills are part of the basic knowledge of a surgeon. Sometimes learning anatomy, or technical maneuvers while performing surgery in theatre or assisting operation can be cumbersome. The theater list is running and you want to be on time for next case, clinics, MDTs and management take a huge amount of time and mentorship becomes difficult. The

I am very grateful and fortunate to be the first plastic surgeon to be awarded the International Fellowship in Oncoplastic Reconstructive

The second GReTA late spring meeting is a week ahead!
A great faculty made by super-seniors, excellent top young medical and clinical oncologists joined a restricted number of senior surgical trainees and junior consultants for two exciting days of talks, discussion and interactions. As surgeons we must confess that our medical oncology colleagues provided us with such an enormous amount of exquisite biological information that may have changed radically our views on the future of breast cancer treatment. Risk directed therapy, in vivo assay of response and surgery tailored accordingly (with extreme
