Join us in Liverpool 2-4 March 2026 for the UK’s biggest event dedicated to people living with secondary breast cancer. Over three inspiring days, you’ll hear from leading experts, researchers, and clinicians about the latest treatments, clinical trials, and supportive care - all explained in clear, accessible language.
The Summit is a chance to connect with others who truly understand, ask questions directly to specialists, and explore topics that matter most to you - from emerging science to living well day-to-day.
Attend in person or join us online for live-streamed sessions, interactive Q&A, and access to on-demand recordings afterwards. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with secondary breast cancer for years, the Summit offers information, hope, and a strong sense of community.
Informative, inspiring and empowering - this is your space to learn, share and be heard.
We'll be opening registration to apply for a ballot place on Tuesday 4 November!
Watch the Summit 2025 sessions
For our 2025 Summit, we were delighted to welcome 26 speakers from the breast cancer sector who shared the latest developments for each breast cancer sub-type; information about clinical trials, palliative care, and what really happens at an MDT; and gave advice on exercise and nutrition.
Each of the sessions were recorded, including the question and answer times, so that you can watch them at your own pace.
Thank you to everyone that attended and to our generous sponsors who enabled us to give 110 fully-funded places for this event to our community.
Prof Carlo Palmieri, Secondary Breast Cancer Summit Clinical Lead
The Secondary Breast Cancer Summit is the only national patient-focused conference in the UK for secondary (metastatic) breast cancer.
In response to invaluable insights from recent LIMBER and Metastatic Breast Cancer research studies funded by the Make 2nds Count, we've identified critical knowledge gaps within the secondary breast cancer community, and the Summit will address these. From disease understanding to clinical trials, treatment, and side effects, our bespoke event programme will meet the research information needs of the secondary breast cancer community. Our goal is to educate and empower patients, and help them feel more confident in their understanding of the disease.
Lesley Stephen, Secondary Breast Cancer Summit Patient Lead
I’m delighted that we are holding the Summit for the third year for patients with secondary breast cancer. I’ve been living with secondary breast cancer for 10 years, and in that time I have been to many cancer conferences with medical talks that can be difficult to follow if you don’t have a science background.
I’ve often thought it would be great to offer secondary breast cancer patients the opportunity to have their own conference, ask researchers and clinicians questions about their work and find out about the latest treatments, but all presented in a way that we patients can understand. I‘d encourage you to sign up for this unique event, enjoy the programme we are putting together for you and I look forward to seeing you in Liverpool in March.
