All modern diagnostic facilities are now available and we can perform all invasive diagnostic procedures as well as all kinds of breast surgery. Conservative surgery is of course our main goal performed with oncoplastic surgical techniques.
Day Surgery procedures are also available.
Since 2006, at the opening of our Radiotherapy Department, we have all the resources for complete breast cancer treatment, including Intraoperative Radiotherapy.
Multidisciplinary meetings are weekly held involving diagnostic specialists, pathologists, radiotherapists, medical oncologists and psychologists to plan the best treatment for each breast cancer patient.
As University Hospital we have residents in all specialities, such as a post graduate Master in Senology and Plastic Surgery of the Breast and for Breast Nurses. The Unit participates in National and International studies on Breast Cancer.
