EUBREAST Network

What EUBREAST Network does

EUBREAST Network is a non-profit international cooperation of breast cancer surgeons that plans and coordinates cross-border clinical studies and projects aimed at de-escalating breast cancer surgery — that is, developing less extensive but equally safe operative methods to improve patient quality of life and shorten recovery. The network operates through two legally registered non-profit associations: EUBREAST e.V., headquartered in Esslingen, Germany, which focuses on studies and the AXSANA project, and EUBREAST ETS, based in Milan, Italy, which focuses on webinars and events. It is a member of the BIG Against Breast Cancer Network and maintains a broad alliance of strategic partnerships with European oncology and surgical societies including ESSO, EUSOMA, ESO, OPBC, BRESO, GBG, and several regional working groups in Germany, Austria, and Central-Eastern Europe.

The network's product and service offerings center on coordinating clinical studies and projects — most prominently the AXSANA study — and operating the EUBREAST Educational Project, a free, CME-accredited online program of five courses providing continuously updated instruction in breast cancer surgical treatment. It reaches its target audience of medical professionals through medical journals and publications, webinars and virtual events, medical conferences, professional network communications, and social media channels (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook).

EUBREAST does not generate commercial revenue. The organization is funded through donations from companies and private individuals, membership contributions, and grants from independent national and European scientific societies. There is no disclosed revenue, headcount, or funding total in the input data. A small coordination team — including a network coordinator, a study coordinator for EUBREAST e.V., and an AXSANA study coordinator — runs day-to-day operations, and the network is governed by an Executive Board with representation from both the German and Italian entities.

Direct peers

• Breast International Group (BIG): Largest international network running breast cancer clinical trials across Europe and beyond. EUBREAST e.V. and EUBREAST ETS are explicitly members of the BIG Against Breast Cancer Network, making BIG the closest organisational peer.
• Oncoplastic Breast Consortium (OPBC): International consortium focused on oncoplastic breast surgery research. Listed as a major EUBREAST partner and overlaps directly on breast surgical research and standards.
• International Breast Cancer Study Group (IBCSG): International cooperative group coordinating large-scale breast cancer clinical trials across multiple countries. Mirrors EUBREAST's model of multinational trial coordination through member institutions.
• European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC): Pan-European clinical research infrastructure organisation running multinational oncology trials. Comparable to EUBREAST in operating a cross-border European trial coordination model for cancer research.
• German Breast Group (GBG): Germany-based cooperative group running breast cancer clinical trials. EUBREAST e.V. is a documented collaborating partner, with overlapping investigator base and trial portfolio in German breast surgery research.

Others

• European Society of Mastology (EUSOMA): European society focused on breast disease research and treatment standards, including breast unit certification. Major EUBREAST partner operating in the same disease area with an overlapping membership base.
• European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO): European professional society for surgical oncology. A documented EUBREAST partner that overlaps on breast surgery research and standards but operates as a professional society rather than trial cooperative.
• European School of Oncology (ESO): European provider of oncology education and professional training. Listed as a major EUBREAST partner and shares the educational mission underpinning EUBREAST's CME-accredited program.

Regional players

• NSABP (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project): Long-standing US-based cooperative group running breast (and bowel) cancer surgical and adjuvant trials. Operates the same cooperative-group model as EUBREAST but focused on North America rather than Europe.
• NRG Oncology: US NCI-sponsored clinical trials cooperative group covering breast and other cancers. Similar cooperative-group structure to EUBREAST but US-centric in operations.
