The Australasian Society for Breast Disease (ASBD) was incorporated in 1997 as a new multidisciplinary society to bring together all those interested in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and research aspects of breast disease.
Goals
· To bring together individuals wherever in Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific rim countries, having the purpose of promoting better knowledge in biology, medicine and human sciences related to the breast in order to establish an Australasian society, with the intention of advancing multidisciplinary understanding and cooperation in the areas of prevention, detection, diagnosis and management of breast disease.
· To promote and develop research, as well as to encourage generation of scientific publications related to the purposes of the Society.
· To instil an increased consciousness within the medical and lay communities with regard to breast disease, by using available means of education, information and publicity.

The mission of the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA) is to define gold standards in the management of breast diseases, favouring a rapid transfer of knowledge from research centres to clinical practice.

The German Society for Senology (DGS) has worked for women's breast health since 1981. It researches, teaches and distributes information about the normal and disturbed functioning of the female breast. Another of its important tasks is encouraging the exchange between scientists, different medical disciplines, as well as health care providers. It creates the general conditions in which women with breast diseases receive the best possible advice, treatment and care. It develops standards and consensus recommendations for diagnosis and treatment, based on scientific results.
