All Authors must comply with the Symposium embargo policy, which states that no Author is to provide information regarding the abstract or related research to be presented during the Symposium to the media or public prior to the scheduled time of presentation at the 31^st Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

No Show Policy

Please notify the Symposia Director as early as possible if your presentation will not be made, and reference your assigned program number. If a scheduled Presenter fails to appear in person or to send a replacement, and does not cancel the poster or slide presentation before the meeting, that Presenter will be barred from having an abstract accepted in the SABCS for three years.  Notification must be sent in written form via e-mail (Markow@uthscsa.edu) or fax (210-567-6072).
