Our breast unit was established in October '98 and has been working in a multidisciplinary setting since then. Our team is comprised of breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiotherapists, pathologists, plastic surgeons, geneticists, breast nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, research coordinators, social workers, etc. We treat over 350 breast cancer patients every year, a steep increase from the initial 150 new breast cancer cases treated in 1998. Despite this high volume of patients, our aim is always to keep the patients at the centre of our attention and provide them with the best possible quality care. The clinical outcomes of our patients are ranked among the best in the country, and we continuously try to improve the level of care by taking part in numerous scientific studies. We understand that having a diagnosis of breast cancer is very hard on patients and systematically offer them psychological support and exercise medicine therapy. We have a wellness centre which is open to all our patients. Finally, hypnosis is proposed for the different breast cancer treatment modalities, e.g. hypnosis sedation for surgery and hypnorelaxation for surgery and chemotherapy.
