The Breast Cancer Interdisciplinary Group has been working in our hospital since 2004. In april 2010 the Breast Unit was established at Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia. The multidisciplinary team includes radiologists, oncoplastic and plastic surgeons, medical oncologists, radiotherapists, pathologists, nuclear doctors, psychologists, residents and breast nurses whose activity is dedicated to breast pathology. The activity takes place both in the Diagnostic Unit (from screening to diagnosis and first meeting with the surgeon) and in the Clinical Breast Unit. Tumour board is weekly held for case discussion and scientific update. The Breast Unit provides care for all stages BC: neo- and adjuvant chemotherapy, oncoplastic and mini-invasive videoassisted surgery, breast reconstruction, radio-guided surgery (ROLL, Sentinel Node Biopsy with intra-operative response), treatment of locally advanced and metastatic BC, rehabilitative and psychological support. We also offer a multidisciplinary approach for risk assessment including a risk clinic, genetic counselling, BRCA 1-2 tests, surveillance programme, chemoprevention trials and risk-reduction surgery for high risk women.
