Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends!Today is a wonderfull day because a dream came true, namely the Russian language translation of the textbook Principles and Practice of Oncoplastic Breast Surgery was officially published.Prof. Dr Petr Krivorotko and dr Alessander Bessonov made a great job with the Russian language publication and so they are able to significantly facilitate quality oncoplastic surgery in the Russian Federation and as well in the surrounding countries.This up to date textbook is endorsed by ESSO (the European Society of Surgical Oncology), and well known as recommended literature for the official BRESO curriculum and European breast surgery exam.Im happy to say that the two excellent breast surgeons from St Petersburg are not only great scientist and professionals, than patriots who are highly motivated to reduce the mortality of breast cancer in Central-Eastern Europe, first of all of course in the Russian Federation.Me myself Im very honoured to be a friend of them, proud that two years ago we were able to establish the CEEBCSC, and now a high quality regional project is succesfully completed.Congratulation again Petr and Alex, and I wish you great success in your professional life, and wish all of us to step foreward for further common projects in the field of breast cancer surgical oncology.Go CEE, go Russia, go Hungary! Thank you Friends and congratulation again!Zoltán Mátrai
