The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and The American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) are pleased to announce a shared scholarship, the 2023 ACS/ASBrS International Scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded to a surgeon specifically working in breast cancer surgery in underserved and developing areas to improve the quality of breast cancer surgical services.

ASBrS tasked its Patient Safety and Quality committee to review the literature regarding same day mastectomy and to provide guidance for surgeons who choose to integrate this into their practice. The findings of this investigation are published this month in the Annals of Surgical Oncology (ASO).

The FDA is informing the public about reports of cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and various lymphomas, that have developed in the scar tissue (capsule) that forms around breast implants.

The American Society of Breast Surgeons is now accepting abstract submissions and video submissions for presentation at the 24th Annual Meeting, April 26–30, 2023.
