The Breast Clinic Voorkempen is the result of the association of a major breast clinic (AZ KLINA, Brasschaat) with a smaller centre ( AZ Sint-Jozef, Malle): the two institutions have established a very close collaboration, sharing the same oncological unit and diagnostic centre, weekly discussing all cases together and using the same handbook. In close collaboration with general practitioners, a special 'pathway for breast cancer' has been set up and diagnosis and follow-up are done together and integrated. A specialized breast cancer registry has been created and it has been approved by the National Cancer Registry. An intensive research program is elaborated with three dedicated data nurses. Special attention is given to reconstructive surgery.
