Message from President Melhem
Melhem Scientific | Breast Cancer Symposium 2025
​
“At Melhem Scientific, our mission has always been rooted in the belief that science is most powerful when it serves humanity. The Breast Cancer Symposium stands as a testament to that belief, a gathering where knowledge meets compassion, where research transforms into hope, and where collaboration lights the path toward a healthier future.
​
Breast cancer continues to touch countless lives, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and it reminds us that awareness and early detection are not just medical priorities, but moral ones. Through education, innovation, and community engagement, we can save lives. And through research and collaboration, we can bring the future closer one where diagnosis is met with confidence, treatment with precision, and recovery with dignity.
​
Melhem Scientific is proud to stand alongside our partners, healthcare institutions, and researchers who dedicate their lives to fighting this disease. Our commitment extends beyond the laboratory. It’s about building bridges between science and society, ensuring that breakthroughs reach those who need them most.
​
This symposium represents more than a scientific dialogue; it represents a collective promise to never stand still in the face of challenge, to invest in discovery, and to empower the next generation of scientists and clinicians who will lead the charge against cancer.
​
As we come together today, let us remember that progress in medicine begins with unity. Together, we can amplify awareness, strengthen prevention, and inspire a movement of care that transcends borders. Together, we can save lives.”

Through education, research, and empathy, we can create a future where early detection is the norm, treatment is accessible, and no one faces the fight alone.”
