This Breast Unit is 7 years old. It is located inside the Cancer Hospital of Barretos, a city located 385 Km away from São Paulo, the biggest city in Brazil. Barretos is famous for its International Rodeo Party. The main goal of this Foudation is to provide poor people with gold standard treatments based on an interdisciplinary approach. Aproximately 1,300 breast surgeries are performed yearly, 13% of them are breast reconstructive surgeries (oncoplastic techniques). We have developed an Oncoplastic Training Centre. Trainees come from all parts of Brazil to attend our pratical and theorical lessons. Our Breast Unit has a special interest in breast cancer prevention and has developed a special screenig program lead by a particular group divided in 5 mobile units (trucks and buses) that drive around the country providing mammographies. All suspecious or positive cases are sent to the hospital for whole free-of-charge treatment. A very modern research building, sponsored by AVON International, strongly improve our scientific capacity.
