A highly motivated multidisciplinary group of individuals compose the Barlavento Medical Centre’s Breast Group. Since 2006, the Group has rapidly accompanied the growth and demands of the region in breast disease. The Group is composed of two teams: the diagnostic one and the oncologic treatment one. The team studies those who have suspicious lesions carefully. The members are all specially trained: the Head Radiologist has a Master Degree in Breast (University of Barcelona), the Head Pathologist has a PhD in Oncology (University of Seville) and the Senior Surgeon has an Observership in Senology (European Institute of Oncology, Milan). The treatment team offers conservative surgical management with oncoplastic techniques and reconstruction with considerable experience in sentinel node biopsy. Pre-operative and post-operative systemic therapy is available as radiotherapy, rehabilitation and psycho-oncologic support. Participation with presentations in major meetings are a fundamental activity as investigation through the Master's program in Experimental Pathology with Coimbra University. We also have Pain Management and a Palliative Care Unit.
